One of the most simple and cheap things you can do to beautify your skin is hot lemon water.
An age-old cure for sore throats, this simple drink is amazing for your body and skin, and ultimately your beauty.
Every morning I boil up 1.5 cups of water and add a quarter of a fresh lemon to it. The fresh scent of lemon invigorates the senses to wake me up, and helps me cut down on my caffeine intake which only dehydrates me and irritates my skin.
1. Balances your pH: Lemons act as an alkaline in your body which helps regulate your pH balance. A disrupted pH can lead to acne breakouts and other skin issues.
2. Anti-Aging: The vitamin C found in lemons helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as blemishes. It does this by purging your body of nasty toxins in your blood that affect your skin clarity.
3. Hydrating: Not only is this additional cup of H2O hydrating to you, but it quenches your lymph systemβs thirst. Your lymph system is integral in ridding your body of toxins, maintaining a healthy balance of nutrient and mineral distribution, relieving stress and creating energy. All of these things affect your bodyβs largest organ; your skin!
If you want clear, radiant, youthful looking skin then add a cup or two of hot lemon water to your daily routine and enjoy the beauty boosting benefits.

I love this classic beauty tip. I feel it really cleanses my system in the morning. I try to drink it before I start on the coffee! Sometimes to make it more invigorating I add ginger too. π
Sabrina says
I couldn’t agree more! I love how lemon water makes me feel and I try to drink it rather than caffeinated products as much as possible! I’ve never added ginger to it, but now I definitely will! Cheers!
Swati Murti says

Hey Swati! hope you are fine… I heard somewhere like having lemon in hot water everyday will help to lose weight. The Above tip sounds good. Willing to try it! Pls Clarify me…
Sabrina says
I wouldn’t use it exclusively to lose weight, if that’s what you are looking for. Lemon water will help boost your metabolism which can induce weight loss though.
Swati Murti says
yes Muthu, Sabrina is right. it might or might not help with weight loss but definitely helps with metabolism!

I feel little irritated. Lemons are so not my thing. I go for fruits thing. I use Essentials Tropical Fruits Exfoliating Gel and it’s quite good. I like it and it makes my skin look so great.
Swati Murti says
great to know that fruits help π

Great tip!!! Will try that for my blemishing… What antioxidant effect does the lemon has on our skin when applying externally?
Sabrina says
When applied externally it acts as an astringent so you will notice refined pores, lightening of the skin and if you have blackheads, they should disappear.
Swati Murti says
lemon is acidic so dissolves all the dirt on the face as well!!
