Does your skin look better when you are ill?

Aug 16, 2008 | Health, Musings


I hope I’m not the only one thinking that my skin actually looks better when I’m ill as opposed to when I’m well! Whatever blemishes seem to have lightened and its looking pretty smooth.

I reckon its all those white cells doing their job fighting the bacteria and viruses attacking the body. The side effect of the internal war raging in the body is that all those wonderful white cells are also fighting the bacteria on my skin! :) So I’m enjoying the nice smooth skin of the moment sans healthy glow unfortunately.

The down side to being ill of course is that I’m feeling terribly dehydrated and my lips are dry and peeling :( Time to break out the lip balm and to down gallons of water to stay hydrated. I’m trying to keep a runny nose and a sore throat at bay because I have something big to look forward to next week! eeks! Better get well…

Have a great weekend everyone. I’ll be camped out on my couch watching telly and popping vitamin C. At least I know that Vitamin C will help fight the nasty flu bug.

    get well soon! usually when i am feeling sick, i will pop tonnes of vit c to try not to fall ill. and btw, somehow vit c can’t stop or get rid of my daily flu, regardless the amount of fruits and vege i take…

    ohhh I haven’t really checked, coz when I’m sick, i’m just sleeping the whole day! so true about the dryness of the lips though..hmm…I am NOT getting sick to see the results..but if ever i did *knocks on wood* i’ll have to look closely :) lol

    The only time my skin looks better when ill is when I’m on antibiotics! Cos it zaps the zits on my face!
    If not on, I never really noticed my skin looking better when ill…hmmm interesting!
    Sorry to hear you’re under the weather–take good care and have a good rest this weekend!

    oh…. i am sorry to hear you are sick. drink more fruit juice. i prefer the real fruit juice than the bubbling vitamin C drink. just can’t drink that. and when i am sick, i don’t notice how my skin is…

    get well soon

    Actually, come to think of it, I don’t notice my skin when I’m sick. But I think you’ve started a trend now, PB!

    Hope you get well soon! *hugs*

    Tee hee, I wouldn’t know. I’d be too knackered to notice my skin and hair when I’m sick :p

    Get well soon yeah?

    To All: Thanks everyone! I’m feeling a little better but the sore-ish throat and the chills aren’t going away just yet. Be back soon!
