Athletes training for a marathon or other major sporting challenge know the importance of keeping their bodies hydrated. Drinking plenty of liquids, especially good, old fashioned water, helps keep the body healthy and functioning properly.
Although you don't need to train before having your portrait taken, you do need to follow the athletes' cue and stay hydrated. Why? Hydrated skin looks younger, firmer and healthier, which is exactly the way you want to look in your portrait.
When the body is dehydrated it leads to dry, tight and even flaky skin. Skin will also be less resilient and more prone to wrinkles. On the flip side, incorporating the recommended eight glasses of water a day into your diet, will help ...
- Flush out any impurities in your skin
- Reduce redness and improve overall skin tone
- Keep skin soft and elastic
- Plump up sagging skin
- Minimize the visibility of enlarged pores
Although water is the easiest and cheapest way to maintain hydration, remember that fruits and vegetables can help you accomplish your goal too. Apples, melons, berries, cucumbers, carrots, and zucchini all have a high content of water. For more edible options click here.
At Charlotte Image, we recommend paying extra attention to your water intake in the weeks leading up to your portrait session. This will ensure that you look and feel your best on the day of your photography shoot, which means you'll get your best image in return.
