Beauty Benefits of Lemon Water


When it comes to keeping your skin clean and looking its best, you may be surprised to know that drinking lemon water can help. When drinking lemon water you will notice your skin will take on a glow. There will be no denying the effects that this easy beauty solution has.

Lemons contain a high amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps rejuvenate your skin, starting from the inside. This great vitamin will bring a natural glow to your skin and enhancing your natural beauty. In addition, drinking lemon water helps flush out toxins from within the body. This helps your skin look healthier and gives you a glowing complexion.

Pay Attention to the Details
Now, you may think that you can simply squeeze a lemon into your next glass of water and you will be on your way to healthy glowing skin. While this is the easy way and it will work, there are some minor details that you will want to pay attention to in order to get the best results.
The first is the temperature of the water that you are drinking. Both spring and tap water are fine to use, but the temperature should be lukewarm. This is because the lukewarm water helps your body use the vitamins the most effectively. Hot and cold water require your body to expend energy in processing the liquid. Semi-warm water gives your body the best chance of absorbing all of the nutrients.

The other detail that you need to pay attention to is the type of lemons that you use. Organic lemons are recommended. This is because regular lemons bought from the store have likely been sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals. When using this type of lemon it is important to be careful as the chemicals can penetrate through the rind into the lemon, which can result in the chemicals entering your water. If using a regular store bought lemon, make sure that you do not leave it soaking in your water for to long.
Drinking lemon water is a great way to combine health and skin care. This is one simple step that can be added to your daily routine quite easily. The skin benefits alone are good enough reasons to simply add a lemon to your next glass of drinking water, not to mention the fact that the vitamin C can help you fight off those nasty colds and the flu.

  2. I often have a hot lemon in the morning – freshly squeezed lemon in boiling water. How do you recommend getting the water to the right temperature and could you just use room temperature water?
