I'm drinking a lot of water b/c I'm dehydrated. So why am I peeing a lot?

My mouth is dry nearly every day and my skin is papery so I know I'm dehydrated. So I'm drinking a lot of water, which means I should be absorbing it, shouldn't I? So why am I peeing so much! Like a lot! The pee is clear, not foggy or dark yellow. I am not diabetic. So why, if I am dehydrated, am I peeing so much when I am trying to give the water back?

Update:

What if it's about every 15 mins.? over hours

    That is excellent if your pee is clear! It means you are flushing out all the toxins and have plenty of water in your system. In theory if you are drinking enough water, you should have to go to the bathroom frequently (maybe like every hour or so) and your pee should be close to clear. Don't worry that is a good thing! Great for you! :) If you are still dehydrated, try some external moisturizer too. But your body is telling you you're getting the right amount of water so hopefully your skin starts to feel better soon!

    If you drink then it has to come out. And you body is absorbing it. If your pee is clear it means your hydrated. If its foggy then your dehydrated. It not like you not gonna pee. Peeing is normal especially if your drinking an excessive amount of water.

    Fresh Coconut Water is THE best rehydration drink that there is!

    However, it is hard to come by for most folks.

    So, you may want to try drinking some Pedialyte, which is designed as a rehydration drink for babies.

    because you're body is made mostly of water, and your body can't keep in all of that water. It's great if your pee is clear
