Drink Your Way To Gorgeous Skin

Drink a cup a day, and you will help keep your skin looking healthy and feeling great. You can get tea bags, loose tea, or powder to mix with water if you don’t like it as a hot drink.

* When you’re at home, make sure there’s a glass of water beside you whenever you’re watching TV, reading or relaxing. If the water is there, you’ll be reminded to it drink more often. When you go out, take a bottle of water with you. Make sure you drink it all before you get home. It’s a small effort to make for great results!

* It’s obvious, but you’d be surprised to learn how many people don’t drink enough water! This is a highly effective and free way of keeping your skin looking clear and healthy. I know that a can of coke or a glass of wine is often far more appealing than water, but go for the clear stuff (not vodka) and your skin will thank you. Try to drink four pints of water a day. This will cleanse all the toxins in your body, and you’ll quickly realise how much healthier you feel.

* If like me, you prefer something sweeter, try chamomile tea. It completely relaxes the body and the tea bags are incredibly effective as an acne treatment. Once you’ve made your tea, leave the tea bag to cool and then apply it on the affected area for about 10 minutes.

* As it is a natural anti-inflammatory it reduces swelling and redness extremely quickly. Organic tea bags are probably best for this, as they will have no additives that could irritate the skin.

* Aloe Vera is brilliant as it’s rich in minerals, vitamins and amino acids. It’s all good stuff for your skin and body. You can buy the juice by the jug full, and there are a number of different sizes. I’d recommend you buy a small one to try it out first, as this suggestion is a bit more expensive. You should feel the benefits inside and out. Aloe Vera gel is great to treat sore patches of skin and burns.
