Lemons have endless beauty uses, but did you know rubbing lemon on your face can help brighten your skin and even help eliminate discoloration (especially from acne)? It's as simple as rubbing a lemon slice on your skin and rinsing.
HOW TO:
Take a lemon slice and rub it all over cleansed skin. Let the lemon juice sit on the skin for up to 2 minutes and rinse. If you have a tingling sensation before the two minutes is up rinse immediately otherwise you might end up with a home chemical peel!
Twice a week should be sufficient.
Another remedy my clients like to do is dip a q-tip into real lemon brand lemon juice and apply the lemon juice to the spot. Don't rinse the spot the lemon was applied to. This is also an excellent method to help calm or eliminate zits. Bacteria can't survive in an acidic environment. This is why toners are important.
Lemons also dry up oil so make sure you moisturize or apply a serum to replenish your skin's moisture afterwards.
CAUTION:
Using lemons or anything active for that matter can make you sun sensitive. Please make sure you use sunscreen if you're using the lemon method.
If you have any skin conditions please consult with your doctor or dermatologist before trying any new skin regimen.
