The first thing I do is put on my trackies and a warm jumper. Then I get out my multi purpose lip balms, tissues, vicks vapodrops, make myself a cup of green tea and eat some chocolate. I also take lots of vitamin C and a magic potion from my naturopath that kills my cold really quickly.
Here is my list of essential cold products:
Kleenex Aloe Vera tissues - These are much softer and easier on the nose than regular tissues.
Vicks Vapodrops - Effective and pleasant tasting.
Lanolips 101 ointment and Dr Lipp Nipple Balm- Very soothing and I can use it on any areas of dry skin around my nose, lips, elbows etc.
Sukin Nourishing Lip Treatment - This is a gorgeously thick balm that lasts for hours, tastes good and makes my parched lips feel instantly better.
Natralus Paw Paw Lip Balm - I use this in the same way I use my lanolin balms, as an all over treatment. I love the thick texture, when I'm sick I'm all about thick, luxurious feeling balms and this fits the bill perfectly.
Pana Chocolate - Not necessarily a cold treatment but I had to include this because it's amazing. Unlike regular chocolate, Pana Chocolate actually fills me up, so when I can't be bothered getting something to eat I have a square of Pana Chocolate and it keeps me going a bit longer. I have a review coming up, but until then, if you haven't tried Pana Chocolate run, don't walk, and get some now.
