I heard that water helps your skin conditions. is this true?

Yes: Skin cells require water to function properly. Dehydration causes damage, accelerated aging, and inability to heal properly. All skin conditions and diseases would become worse in a body not receiving proper nutrition or adequate hydration.

Water : Water is great for overall body health. However, it does not help with dry skin. Moisturizers are needed for that purpose.
