Noticed skin on my face really dry a few days ago and have been using E45 and drinking more water than I usually do ever since. The only other liquid I've had is green tea and one glass of wine. But today my pee is still really dark, almost brown??

First thought is that you are very dehydrated, and need to drink even more water.

Are you feeling ill at all in any other way, or have any pain or discharge?

How much water do you drink?

Take a sample to your GP, it could be blood rather then dehydration. It's normally a pale straw colour, if it's dark yellow with hints of brown or red then you could do with getting it checked.

It's hard to say how much, just much more than normal. Maybe a few days ago I was totally dehydrated and it's taking a while to get back to normal. My skin on my face is still really tight despite all the moisturiser. Hopefully not your suggestion, Belle, although will keep an eye on it. It was certainly darker than I think I've ever seen it. Thanks for replies.

Have the whites of your eyes changed colour?

Think you are dehydrated still, but check it out with G.P.
