  1. Get rid of blackheads

Lemons for blackheads is a rescue mission. You may be familiar with using plain lemon juice for skin. But to get rid of blackheads, all you need to do is to apply some lemon juice and almond milk on blackheads and leave it for 15 minutes. Try this everyday before going for a bath until the pigmentation lightens.

  1. Lemon for face pimples

Lemons on face may react differently on various skin types. For those with sensitive skin, dilute the acidity of lemon juice with some coconut oil and add two teaspoons of cinnamon powder. Others, who do not have a sensitivity to lemons or a sensitive skin, blend aloe vera gel with lime juice and use it liberally on affected areas.

  1. Lemons on face overnight

Allowing lemon juice on face to stay overnight may lead to rashes since it is acidic. For a sensitive skin, Citric acid may aggravate acne and result in a much worse condition. But, if you want instant results, do try overnight lemon face packs as they are way better than 15-minute ones. Since choosing lemon to lighten skin is an excellent choice, they stay on your skin around the clock and make your skin bright and glowing.

Always remember to apply lemon juice on face when you are not going outside immediately. Exposing our lemon coated skin increases the intake of UV rays from the sun.

  1. Lemon to remove suntan

Stop worrying about the darkened skin and just sneak into your kitchen and steal some baking soda to remove sun tan effectively. For this,

  • Add 2 tsp of baking soda
  • Squeeze half lemon. While the mixture fizzes, mix it well to form a paste and apply it on the darkened areas. You will notice a visible difference in a week or two when repeated thrice a week.

P.S. This mixture can be applied in teeth too, to get a Colgate smile

  1. Lemon on as makeup remover

When your favourite makeup remover squeezes its last output, lemon juice+coconut oil is the best natural makeup remover for face. Coconut oil claims to be the classic eye makeup remover but when you add some lemon juice to it, due to its antibacterial properties, the minuscule germs are destroyed and thus you get a really clean and clear face!
