Always cite or link your sources.

"Some guy from the internet said..." doesn't cut it here (nor should it anywhere, imho).

That said, skin cells are produced at the base of the dermal layer, and are pushed up as new cells are born - eventually dying, and falling off the body. Nearly without exception, every cell you see on the surface of the human body is already a dead cell. As this process takes, generally, at least 35 days, any test run for "a month" would be inconclusive, as after "a month" you'd barely see the first skin cells that were created during the start of your study visible on the surface of the body.

Drinking a lot of water (provided you don't get silly and do it to the point of toxicity) is beneficial to the body in countless ways. It helps remove waste/toxins and deliver nutrients to every cell more efficiently. It's also used to protect the body in the generation of mucus, sweat, etc. Excess water is expelled at will, taking with it a whole bunch of garbage every time it leaves us.... so it certainly doesn't hurt. Even if passively, increased water intake should benefit the skin just as it benefits every other organ in the human body, I'd think.
