Feel better and radiate your dermis

My favourite non-prescription remedy for getting over a cold (aside from the Chinese chrysanthemum and herbal tea granules you can buy in China) is hot honey and diluted lemon juice. Especially if I’ve got a sore throat, the honey makes things all better, and what’s not to love about vitamin C when a rhinovirus is making you feel like crap?

I’ve been drinking that simple concoction (sometimes as tea with honey and lemon) for over a week now, and I think it’s definitely helped me feel better while my body fights the cold, with the unintended (but very welcome) benefit of clearing my complexion.

I don’t get a lot of spots or anything, but the skin on my face ain’t smooth, dewy, or radiant like you see in skincare ads. Since moving to Scotland, where the air is much drier, I’m getting the added fun of dry AND oily skin at the same time. In the short time I’ve been drinking hot lemon and honey, my skin’s become a lot smoother. We’re talking almost baby’s bum standards (Mark and Kristen, please confirm that your baby’s bum is very smooth).

(I remember reading a bloog post somewhere a while back about a similar discovery, but it was more adding a bit of lemon juice to flavour water and discovering the benefits to one’s complexion. Too bad I can’t remember where.)
