Perspectives

after the study we can afirm: - The increase in water consumption has a more positive impact in skin physiology with the habit of daily intake of this nutrient, revealing in this case, a clear improvement of the levels of water available in the epidermis and dermis. - The quantity of water available in the dermis and epidermis influences the biomechanical behaviour of the skin with improved extensibility, elastic retraction and the viscoelastic portion of the skin especially in less exposed anatomical regions, particularly in the leg and in the forearm
