Lemon Juice in Skin Care

Lemon juice in Skin Care is a natural exfoliant, skin brightener and anti-infective.   Lemon juice is rich in fruit acids that will exfoliate to gently remove dead skin cells and will also bleach darkened or discolored areas.

How to use Lemon Juice:

• Dab on an existing blemish to help dry it up.
• For a hair treatment that adds bounce and shine, after shampooing mix the juice of one lemon with one cup warm water and apply to hair. Allow to remain in hair for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.  (Can also be mixed with honey for extra conditioning.)
• Brighten and lighten fingernails by soaking them in lemon juice for ten minutes.
• As a treatment for blackheads, clogged pores and blemishes, apply lemon juice to areas at night.  Do not wash off until the morning.
• Rub lemon peel over elbows and knees to eliminate rough or dark spots.
• Apply full strength to discolored and darkened areas at night and leave on until the morning.
• Apply full strength or diluted with water as a facial toner to exfoliate and lighten the skin, to prevent and treat clogged pores, blackheads and blemishes.
