Drink Me Beautiful - Warm Lemon Water

Today I want to share a simple, yet effective top tip to help your skin glow.

I've mentioned before that I don't have the worlds clearest skin,  and so I've spent quite a but of time perfecting a good routine to help give me as clearer skin as possible. A key part of this routine is drinking warm lemon water every morning before breakfast.


Fresh lemon juice has wonderful properties - it cleanses your system, provides vitamin C to help clear skin, balances excess stomach acid as well as many other things.

I find that drinking it first thing in the morning before eating anything has made a huge difference to my skin. In fact if I'm away and stop drinking it, the following week my skin really shows it. Many friends of all ages have also said how much it has helped them - brighter skin, clearer skin, less redness... The list goes on.

It's super simple - squeeze fresh lemon juice ( I usually use a third of a large lemon), add warm water, and get drinking!

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

As the years have passed I have grown increasingly aware of having a good skin care routine. My skin type is slightly oily and so I am always keen to stop any potential outbreaks in their tracks. After a lot of tweaking I feel like I have eventually got a routine which works for me.

One product which has made it on to my tried and tested successful list is Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. This oil free light weight moisturiser really lives up to the hype. I apply it at morning and night, it dries quickly and keeps the skin nicely hydrated without giving shine or increasing surface oil. I've definitely noticed that it has kept blemishes at bay, so all in all a thumbs up.

If you're more prone to drier skin then fear not because the lovely people at Clinique are looking out for you too with their Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion +.

I'd definitely recommend this range, it's certainly not cheap (50ml tube retail sat £17.00 & 125ml pump bottle is £29.50) but having good skin care is an essential foundation. I've had my bottle for  almost 3months and as you can see I still have a third left.

No moisturiser is a catch all, so whether it's Clinique or not, always make sure your moisturiser targets your skin type, it's amazing what a difference it can make.
