Harsh British winters take their toll on our skin and our immune systems curse us with dry cracked lips, flaky skin and frazzled hair. As we cough and sneeze our way through the cold, what if I told you that there is one miracle fruit that can solve all of our winter problems? Yes that’s the right, I’m talking about the humble lemon. This vitamin-packed fruit can keep us healthy, fresh and strong inside and out. Check out these 5 uses of Lemon that will benefit your health.
Drinking this zesty cup each morning will not only put some pep in your step but does wonders for our insides too! Lemon contains Vitamin C which provides a healthy boost to your immune system whilst the water gets to work to improve your liver function. (Especially useful after a heavy night out!) It even goes one step further and can help maintain a healthy weight by increasing our metabolic rate.
Adding a few drops of lemon juice to your toothpaste can help you achieve those bright white teeth goals. The Vitamin C in Lemon lightens the teeth helping to rid them of discolouration. Its anti-bacterial properties will also kill those nasty germs in the mouth giving us healthy gums as well as zingy, fresh breath!
If, like me, you often overdo it on the nail polish or perhaps forget to consume your daily calcium dose, Lemon is here to save your flaky nails. Combine lemon juice with a few drops of olive oil and gently rub on the fingernails. Leave it for a couple of minutes before washing off, leaving you with super strong nails ready for a brand new coat of polish.
Simply mixing a bit of lemon juice with one egg white and applying it to those pesky spots and scars helps to reduce the oil in the skin. The acidic qualities of this wonder fruit constrict the body tissues and push oil out of the skin. Simply apply, leave it to dry and wash off with warm water. Spots be gone!
One tablespoon of lemon juice and a table spoon of castor oil combined provides a five star beauty treatment to those annoying flakes. Apply the mixture to the lips and leave overnight. Rub it off in the morning and hey presto! Silky smooth lips ready for the gloss and lipstick. For extra exfoliation, mix in a teaspoon of sugar to make a lip scrub.
