If it hurts you, then you would need lemon-aid.

Hi Pippiplum,
There was a thread a couple of months ago about a fresh lemon juice sugar scrub treatment--I tried it and it really did brighten up my skin. I massaged it gently into slightly damp skin for several minutes, I would never rub the grains in. But I believe that sugar is essentially glycolic acid so with those two you are really packing a punch.
Also, I drink half a lemon in rm temp water daily, and that seems to keep my skin bright as well. The acid actually turns alkaline when in the body, so it's an excellent way to start out the day balancing your pH as well
like iaimei said, do be careful with putting too many acids on your skin! but once a week should be okay.

I have succesfully used fresh lemon in my homemade toner for months now to fade pigmentation and it works! but am very careful not to go out in the sun without sunscreen and it is a big bottle with only 1 teaspoon so very diluted. |

I have been using lemon juice on my face every night for the last week. I have dry,sensitive skin and my skin was looking really dull. I have never used a Vitamin C serum and I am seriously thinking about incorporating that in my skin care. Anyhow the lemon juice does sting a little bit but there is a very positive diff. in my skin. I could not believe it but it did not dry my skin further instead it made it look healthy and glowing. I am wearing sunscreen at all times! What a surprise! |
