No cream or home remedy can fully remove pigmentation if your body is dehydrated or lacking the right nutrients. Clear, glowing skin starts from inside, and proper hydration plus a balanced diet play a major role in reducing pigmentation, dark spots, dullness, and scars.
Why Hydration & Diet Matter for Pigmentation
When the body is dehydrated or poorly nourished:
- Toxins build up in the skin
- Skin repair slows down
- Pigmentation becomes darker
- Scars take longer to fade
- Skin looks dull and uneven
Proper water intake and nutrient-rich foods help the skin repair, renew, and brighten naturally.
Hydration for Pigmentation-Free Skin
How Much Water to Drink
- 8–10 glasses daily (more if you sweat or exercise)
- Sip water throughout the day (not all at once)
Best Hydration Drinks
- Plain warm water (morning)
- Coconut water (2–3 times/week)
- Lemon water (without sugar)
- Amla water
- Herbal teas (green tea, chamomile)
Well-hydrated skin looks plump, clear, and glowing
