…Honey and lemon!

Every morning, before I eat or drink anything else, I have a mug of hot water with honey and lemon stirred in to it.

Not only does this little ritual of mine wake me up and give me a refreshing start to the day, it benefits my skin too.

Some claim that the drink kick starts the body by boosting the metabolism, others simply enjoy the taste and like to stay hydrated whilst avoiding caffeine, I like it for the radiance it bestows on my skin.

Honey is a powerful anti-oxidant, so sipping on this drink every morning could well be keeping those pesky wrinkles at bay. It also provides a burst energy whilst being much healthier than sugar.

As for the lemon, as a citrus fruit is contains high levels of vitamin C which is vital for healthy skin as it rejuvenates skin cells from the inside out. However, lemon is also thought to be extremely cleansing – it flushes out toxins from the body and cleanses the liver and kidneys, leading to a glowing and bright complexion. This is the real bonus of the drink – it’s naturally detoxifying.

Give it a go! It tastes surprisingly nice, so what’s the worst that could happen?
