As a continuation of the series of tips for beautiful and healthy skin, in this article, we decided to present to you one more daily healthy routine for beautiful skin. The experts are adamant that the key to achieving a youthful and well-hydrated skin does not lie in a specific cosmetic product, but in something easy and enjoyable, such as a periodic full-body detox, which induces health and radiance throughout the entire organism. According to them, a glass of warm water with lemon for a period of 21 days is guaranteed to help you look more radiant and youthful, as detox always works, especially when it becomes a routine.
The average consumer has been found to apply at least 16 cosmetic products every day.
When it comes to your beauty culture, think about how many products you use on your own skin daily. Are you ready for the answer? If you start counting, you will see this for yourself – lotion, toner, day cream, sunscreen, eye shadows, pencil, highlighter, night cream, eye cream, anti-wrinkle cream. And the list could undoubtedly go on…
Shift your focus from beauty to health and you will surely have both
Have you ever thought about the constant exposition of your skin to so many different chemicals while using all these beauty products? And some of them do not even work! If you really want your skin to appear radiant and healthy – the turning point lies in the focus shift of your attention from the attainment of its beauty to the attainment of its health. And instead of looking for yet another product to take care of your beauty, it is more appropriate and meaningful to turn your attention to the foods that can really improve the condition of your skin on a cellular level. When your body is “fed” with what it really needs, it detoxifies. And the results that you and everyone around you are bound to observe include: reduced eye circles, a clearer and more radiant skin, anti-aging effects, increased energy, as well as weight control.
Water and lemons for a good detox = hydration
This is exactly what water and lemons do – they alkalise and detoxify the body and the skin. And the skin hydration is improved. The hydrated skin is elastic and less prone to wrinkling. As a matter of fact, many of the ladies looking for anti-aging creams are simply dehydrated.
The alkalisation of the body is also necessary to create the favourable conditions for the transfer of oxygen, nutrients and elements between the tissues and to improve the cellular respiration. And with the lemons, you will also receive an additional shot of vitamin C, which aids the collagen synthesis and keeps the skin taut and healthy. The ascorbic acid is also important for the restoration of the cell tissues, the gums, the blood vessels, the bones and the teeth, and it helps the organism to absorb iron and to increase its regenerative powers. It brings enormous benefits to the protection of the organism from infections. It acts as an immunostimulant. It also aids the digestion and metabolism improvement, so as to help you burn calories throughout the day.
Are you ready to give it a try? Squeeze 1/2 – 1 lemon into a glass of warm water and drink it before taking anything else, before breakfast, if you are used to having one. The experts are convinced that you will soon discover that you do not even need breakfast. And starting your day with this healthy intention will really change the way you think about what foods you want to eat for the rest of the day. If your mornings are hectic, you could simply have your lemon water while getting dressed. Give this suggestion a try every morning for 21 days, and then you will see and feel the change.
