Ok, I feel stupid even asking this...but anyway.... so I don't drink water....at all...MAYBE one glass a week if I'm feelin' up to it. My skin is getting so dried out and I have huge dark circles under my eyes. If I committed to drinking 8 glasses of water a day, would my skin appearance get better? If it will make the whole world of difference,then I will start drinking water, but if not, I'll stick to my soda.

I get, on average, about 9.5 hours of sleep every night, so lack sleep can't be the cause of my dark circles .

This is not a stupid question, it is smart to be concerned about your appearance and your health. Soda is bad for your whole system. It has a lot of chemicals and additives in it which will dry out and age your skin. It actually interferes with your circulatory system, which is contributing to the dry skin and dark circles. Some people just are more apt to have dark circles than others, due to lightness and thiness of the skin, a coverup or foundation can help. Get a bit more sleep, that is important. If you cannot get away totally from the soda, have one small, 8 ounce can as a treat every few days, until you can give them up completely. I had to up my water intake within the past couple of years, just for health reasons. I am lucky, as I have never been a big soda drinker. I can occationally have one glass and then walk away. I keep a big glass of water with ice near me at all times. I will have soda water with lemon or lime slices. I will also have regular water with bit of juice to taste, cranberry juice, blueberry juice, or pomegranate. I also use crystal light, there are so many flavors, it keeps it interesting. Try adding one glass at a time, until you are up to five or six per day. You will see improvement in your skin within a couple of weeks. Your body will actually begin to crave water, and you will lose your taste for soda after a few weeks. My first thought now, when I am thirsty is I need some water. I do drink milk a lot, and my bone density is great. I am only an occasional coffee drinker, I drink iced and hot tea. I also have given up adding sugar to the coffee and tea, and that has improved my health and I've lost about eight pounds, without changing anything else. Try it, one day at a time, you do not have to force yourself to change completely overnight. Have a great day!

Water is another way of hydrating your system. Soda is the worst thing you can drink and suspect to have good skin and eyes. Try drinking at least 3-5 cups a day and make the other two cups juice, until you gradually get to 5-8 cups a day. You might need more sleep for the dark circles. Water really does help!

Yes drink the water for sure. Pop is sooo not good. Once in a while of course, who can eat popcorn without it?? And get some sleep. That will help with eye circle thing. If you do start drinking the water get ready to go to the bathroom but, don't worry that wont last long. Your body will adjust. (Getting rid of the bad stuff)

The september issue of Oprah magazine has that same question in it. Yes, Drinking water helps. You can find the answer on Page 214 of the magazine. It's a good article. It also helps flush impurities out of your system that leads to better immune function. Good luck!
