In the structure of the skin, water accounts for 70%, of which about 20-30% water is concentrated in the epidermis layer (the outermost layer of the skin). The epidermis is made up of water and lipids (fats), also known as the hydrolipid film. This membrane is involved in regulating the process of perspiration and sebum, helping to keep the skin moisturized by hydrating the skin, making the skin always smooth and resisting the penetration of environmental agents (dust dirty, bacteria, fungus …). Water prevents skin from drying out, prevents wrinkles, reduces acne, keeps beautiful lips, gets in shape, prevents disease …

Under normal conditions, on average, a person needs 2 to 2.5 liters of water a day.
