We all know that lemons are good for our body detoxification. We love lemonade and salads with lemon juice, but do you know lemons are as good for your skin and hair as for our internal body...now we love lemons even more—they have such an amazing beauty benefits. Lets discover some great uses:
1. Hydrating & Cleansing: Mix a few drops of coconut water with a few drops of lemon juice. The coconut will hydrate your skin, and lemon will clear and brighten it.
2. Bleacher: Our elbow and knees appear dark sometimes.Simply rub them with half of a lemon. It works like magic!
3. Treat Blackhead: It may sound too good to be true, but because lemons are antibacterial, they can help treat acne. Just slice a lemon, and squeeze the juice on your face. Your blackheads will start to fade before you know it.
4. Whitener for Teeth: Mix one teaspoon of baking soda and few drops of lemon juice, and apply it on your teeth,gently with your finger. Keep it for few minutes and then, use your toothbrush to scrub your teeth and rinse. It's way cheaper than going to a dentist.
5. Skin brightener: We all wish for a radiant skin,but now we have a magic potion at home. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and citric acid, so they can help brighten and lighten your skin when used over time. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant for neutralizing free radicals and boosting collagen production. Which means helps lighten age spots, dark spots, or a fake tan gone wrong. Do not apply lemon directly on your skin. Wear SPF when using lemon juice on your skin, though, since the citrus fruit can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
6. Eliminates excess oil: Lemons are great for reducing excess oil internally and externally.
7. Lip exfoliator: Scrub a lemon on your lips before bedtime, and wash it off in the morning to help remove dead skin cells and dried skin. Buy if you have severely chapped lips that have any cuts, do not apply.
8. Hair Highlights: Get a dye-free D.I.Y highlights at home with lemon juice. Apply it before you expose your hair to sunlight to score a sun-kissed color. The lemon juice can also help treat a dry scalp and dandruff, so apply it liberally.
