When life gives you lemons..
Use them as a skincare product!
Do you know the TOP 7
benefits of lemons for your skin?
If you need a quick remedy for dull, oily and aging skin, look no
further than your fridge! But if you don’t have sensitive skin, lemons can help
your complexion in different ways:
#1 Exfoliating - Dull skin begone! Exfoliate with lemon
to maintain clear, youthful skin! Lemon fruit acids are ideal for
gentle exfoliation; add the vitamin content of lemons and you’ve got a
complete skincare treatment right in your kitchen! To exfoliate, apply
lemon juice on clean skin for 5-10 minutes then rinse.
#2 Brightening – It’s not a secret anymore that one of the best natural whitening products is lemon.
Rub half a lemon on your face or any darker areas like elbows and
knees. Repeat every day until you notice improvement in pigmentation.
But remember to use sunscreen all time for increased protection!
#3 Neutralizing environmental damage – Sun, pollution
and stress take their toll on your skin. Vitamin C is known to be a
potent anti-oxidant that combats the effects of free radicals on your
body. Why not use it on your skin as well? It helps prevent wrinkles and
helps maintain skin elasticity. Mix a bit of lemon juice in your
favourite home made treatment mask to reap the benefits of antioxidants!
#4 Toning – Tired skin is no longer a problem when you
have a lemon at hand. Shrink pores and regain your glow with this
concoction: in a glass of water, squeeze half a lemon and add a few
cucumber slices then shake and let stand for 5 minutes. With a cotton
ball, wipe your face for a minute then clean with cold water.
#5 Hydrating and nourishing – Lemons are popular for
their Vitamin C content, don’t forget they are also a good source of
folate, potassium, magnesium and Vitamin B6. Lemon’s nutrients detoxify,
repair and renew skin from the inside out. Use this 20 minute mask to
energize your skin: one teaspoon each of lemon, honey and black tea
infusion.
#6 Fighting wrinkles – because Vitamin C stimulates
collagen formation, using lemon juice in your wrinkle treatments can
improve your results. A home made, hydrating wrinkle treatment is a
solution made of milk and a bit of lemon juice. Apply it on your face
for 10 minutes then rinse with warm water.
#7 Pore cleansing– If your skin is oily, and clogged
pores or blackheads are often a problem, lemon can help. Because of its
exfoliating and astringent properties, overnight lemon juice treatment
on problem areas can help you achieve a beautiful, smooth skin in the
morning. Apply with a cotton swab where needed and let dry.
