Daily Detox Starts With Water

Hi Green Beauty lovers,

Nick here. Today, I’m going to share with you something we love at OY-L, detox water. You may have seen them in our Instagram stories or posts. There are so many reasons to treat yourself to one, we had to share why we love them.

If you follow our Instagram closely, we made a post with some beautiful mason jars full of fruit-infused water. The next day I walked into work with one of these delectable glasses of water on my desk. As a young guy, I had never really thought to make myself a detox water. This opened my eyes to thinking, “Oh, awesome. This will help me stay hydrated!” Three refills later and I was wondering where they had been all my life.

Detox Waters can be made of whatever fruit you like. At OY-L, our products are made with several different fruit derived oils. We use Watermelon Grapeseed, Lemon, Lime, Spearmint, Orange, Grapefruit, and Cucumber oils in our products–just to name a few. These ingredients and the produce that they come from are all amazing for you, inside and out. Read more about why we use the oils and fruits we do on our ingredients page.

Luckily, everything you need you probably already have. If anything, a quick trip to your local grocery store or farmer’s market will do the trick. The first step is deciding what fruits, vegetables, and herbs you want to combine to create your water. The options are endless so let your imagination run wild. How about a Detox Water with strawberries and mint? Or a Detox Water with lemon and lime? For our Crystal Eye Serum launch party, Andrea created a Detox Water around our eye serum’s ingredients.

Like the photo below, mason jars are a great choice for making your Detox Water. The opening is big enough to fit any piece of fruit or vegetable you want, and the glass makes it easy to see all the beautiful colors of the ingredients you picked!

Eight glasses of eight ounces of water are recommended per day to stay properly hydrated. The 8×8 rule. That’s half a gallon, or 64 ounces of water every day. Detox Waters are a great way to stay hydrated and make getting your eight glasses more fun! The health and skin benefits or being properly hydrated are amazing. Drinking the suggested amount of water and staying hydrated has been shown to help with weight loss, boost mood, and increase digestive health.

The University of Wisconsin has an entire page dedicated to the skincare benefits of staying hydrated. According the site, “If your skin is not getting the sufficient amount of water, the lack of hydration will present itself by turning your skin dry, tight and flaky. Dry skin has less resilience and is more prone to wrinkling.” Unfortunately, the water we drink we go to all our other organs before our skin. That’s why applying water directly on the skin can be extremely helpful. Our skin is like a sponge, it absorbs better when wet, so the products you use right after a shower are the most important. In addition to drinking your water, spray a mist on your skin to see even more benefits.

Hydration is so important and has incredible skin and health benefits! Create your own Detox Waters and tag us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
