Skin-Brightening Lemon Facial
Did you know that lemon is an amazing fruit for the inside and the outside of your body? I have been making a lemon scrub for my face and it has brightened and softened my skin, the best part is it super quick and basically free!
I grab a lemon off our neighbors tree and combine the lemon juice and a small bit of Organic Sugar
to make a gentle exfoliating scrub.
Apply the scrub to dry skin and lightly rub in, leave it on for about 5 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a towel.
A lemon has so many wonderful ingredients; vitamin C which helps reduce redness, beta hydroxy which helps with smoothness and discoloration and alpha hydroxy which helps with new skin cell growth, crazy! Did you ever put lemon juice in your hair as a teen to lighten it? Well, rub a little on your sun or age spots and it will help lighten them! The sugar provides the exfoliating texture that loosens and removes the grime and dead cells from the surface of your skin.
Soon you will be on your way to a glowing and beautiful complexion.

Lemon juice will sting a open wound (pimple) and makes your skin sensitive to light so wear sunscreen. Obviously keep away from your eyes.
Great tip! And, I bet is smells wonderful too.
I soo need this, thanks!
I also keep lemons in my freezer and use a zester to add some peel/ fruit to many of my recipes. You really can’t taste the lemon, but it seems to enhance the flavor of the entire dish. In addition, lemons are full of anti-oxidants and so good for you! Thanks for you hint on using it as a scrub. Can’t wait to try it.
Cool. I bet my daughter would love this.
Oh this looks so easy and sounds like it works great!!
Love this! Ready to go grab a lemon and give it a try. Thanks for the great idea! 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend!

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30
foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Lemon oil may be used in aromatherapy. Researchers at The Ohio State University found that lemon oil aroma does not influence the human immune system, but may enhance mood.
