Again Lemon!

Swathy · March 22, 2013 · 20 Comments

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.
There are several other perks to hot lemon water.
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 system’s 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 body’s 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. πŸ™‚

      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!

      sorry, i don’t know about any product available over there but i can suggest to use a cup of rock salt or sea salt with a couple of essential oil drops likes lavender or peppermint.
      and, i am really really sorry for replying soooooo late!!!

      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.

    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.

    Great tip!!! Will try that for my blemishing… What antioxidant effect does the lemon has on our skin when applying externally?

      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.
