Water is, it would have us believe, a purifying fast-track to glowing skin, bright eyes and bags of energy. Galloway says detoxing with water is “a load of rubbish. Your    do a very good job of sorting out what you need to retain and what you need to get rid of.”

Will water make your skin better? While dehydration isn’t good for your skin, says Bav Shergill, a consultant (dermatologist) and honorary senior lecturer at the University of Manchester, “once you hit a certain level of fluid intake, providing you are healthy, any excess water will be peed out.”

Water intoxication occurs when the amount of electrolytes in the body becomes imbalanced by excessive water intake, disrupting brain function.
