Im fed up with having dull spotty skin and to top things off i look like im getting little lines around my eyes. Is it too late to turn things around?

I feel the same but whenever i try drinking 8 pints of water i just end up in and out of the loo all day GrinHave never seen any noticeable improvement as a result of drinking that much but maybe it will work for you. Could be i am just destined to grow old before my time Sad

I think 8 glasses of water is the amount our bodies need per day, but this includes the water in our food. I'm sure I have heard that 8 glasses of water a day regardless of other intake can put strain on the kidneys.

Less black rings under my eyes when I drink more water. I only just noticed during the last school holiday - only took a few days to show up.

I find that my skin looks better if I don't drink alcohol.
