Lemon

Lemons are rich in vitamin C and citric acid. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It boosts collagen production, maintaining the elasticity of the skin. It also helps to lighten our skin tone and moisturize our skin. It works amazingly on darkened knees and elbows.

Lemons are antibacterial and prevent infections and acne. They also detox our bodies.

How To Use Lemons for your Skin

Drinking a glass of lemonade every day boosts immunity, detoxifies our body and keeps our skin glowing and hydrated.

If you wish to apply lemon on your skin, please perform a patch test initially.  Make a solution of lemon juice and water in the ratio of  2:3 and gently apply to your skin using cotton. Leave for 10 minutes and wash with cool water. Then pat dry.

You can also add a few drops of lemon juice to other homemade face masks.
