And today I am going to share with you three of my favorite simple, do it yourself that will keep you feeling youthful and radiant throughout the summer. It's so easy, anyone can do it. Ok, so tip number one. Put lemon in water. Lemon in water is such a simple addition that has quite a few health benefits. Lemon is alkalizing and helps to balance the pH level in your body.
Lemons are also high in vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and other minerals. Lemon water also is a great kickstarter for your digestive system in the morning and helps your kidney and colon flush out all that yucky, yucky toxins.

Ok, so all you need to do is slice up some fresh lemon and squeeze it out into your water. Then with the remaining slice you can toss it in your water and enjoy it. It's so fresh and tastes great.
Ok so tip number 2. Lemon on your face. When I think of lemon and honey, I think of a hot drink for curing a sore throat. I mean, I usually do that for myself whenever I have a sore throat. Did you also know it makes an incredible face mask? Yes, it does. Honey is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. It also helps absorb any impurities from your pores and your skin. Lemon can also brighten and exfoliate your skin. It is great for acne problems, skin, healing acne scars and sun spots. To make this theraputic mask all you have to do is squeeze in half a lemon, organic is always best, with two tablespoons of honey and then mix it well, blend it together.
Once that's done, apply it all over your face. But make sure your face is clean before doing so, and try to avoid the eye area. So after you spread this all over your face, leave it on for about 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse it off. Then after that, pat dry and admire your fresh beautiful skin. Ok so on to the last one, and this is tip number 3. Some of us are not blessed with the smell of roses when we perspire. So here is a deodorizer without putting any funky, artificial chemicals on your skin. This works all day, and can also lighten your armpit skin tone at the same time.
