The Cold Again, Really?

Tuesday, 19 March 2013

Turns out, a brunch with your friends can't cure the cold. Who knew!
 
I have some how managed to catch the cold again, and it's almost becoming a running joke. From Facebook and Twitter I don't think I am alone in this struggle of a reoccurring cold. So I have decided to share my method of shaking the pesky thing off. Below are the main things I have been using to banish it from my system...
 
 
....and this is how I use all of the above.
 
1) Steam your face with Menthol Crystals. You get these everywhere and they are pretty cheap, but amazing. They will have you feeling great in about a day and a half. If I'm under the weather I will use these every 3 to 4 hours and it helps your nose, ears, head and eyes. Just boil some water, tip some of the crystals in (only some, they are super strong!), then put your head under a towel and steam away. After I have steamed I will splash some cold water on my face, as the steam opens all your pores so you need to close them again.
 
2) Sudocrem mask! In my earlier blog I told you all about the amazingness of a Sudocrem mask and they are even more amazing when you are sick. If I have a cold I will also put some on my nose or any dry areas on my face, except the eye area.
 
3) Water and paracetamol. Now, for some weird reason when I am not feeling great drinking water makes me feel so much worse and kind of hurts my ears (strange) but I force my self to drink as much as possible beacuse it really does help. Paracetamol is obvious, controls your temperature and generally makes aches and pains less painful.
 
4) Dr Lipp. This is a new product I have been using and so far I have been really impressed. It really hydrates your lips and they even feel plumper! I have been using this at night and it really has made a difference.
 
5) A little bit of tan. I usually do this step once I realise that I am in fact, not going to die from the cold even though it felt like it only a few days ago. I am super pale (think Wednesday Adams), so when I am sick I look like I have risen from a grave. I am a huge believer in "if you look better you start to feel better" and not being mistaken for the walking dead is always a bonus! So after a few days I will always pop some tan on my face to make myself feel better.
 
If you are unwell then I hope this has helped and that we all get better soon!
