Urrrrgh, lemons! I'm not a fan of lemons, oranges, limes and basically the whole citrus family. However, I do acknowledge their numerous benefits. One of such amazing benefits is citric acid.
Citric acid ozidizes oil, protein and carbohydrates and when used on skin can break down the cell membrane. Lemons have a low concentration of citric acid, which is great for getting rid of dead skin cells. Skin cells respond by producing more collagen, resulting in skin that is more supple and firm, and less scars!
How to:
1. Apply lemon juice to clean skin
2. After 5 minutes, apply moisturiser
3. Wash your face the next morning
Caution:
1.Try making a mix of 50/50 lemon juice + water if you have more sensitive skin.
2. This should strictly be a night routine, as lemon juice on skin can result in hyper-pigmentation
I have noticed great results using lemon juice, and I will be posting results soon.
Used lemon juice before, share your experiences.
