Water!!
I saw Dr.Oz today and he said that drinking water to hydrate your skin is a myth!! He said drinking water will not prevent you from getting wrinkles as you age. He said you have to hydrate from the top down. In other words, moisturize. Not from the inside out. I take that to mean that this goes for preventing saggy skin…

This might be really obvious to some but it wasn't to me!! I went to my friend's gym yesterday and did the treadmill.
