LEMON


 

Method 1 – Lemon Juice And Water

Lemon juice, by itself, is a great way to remove dark spots. However, in its concentrated form, it can be pretty harsh on your skin. So, using water to dilute the solution is a good idea, especially if you have sensitive skin.
What You Need
  • 1 lemon
  • Filtered water
  • Cotton balls
How To Use
  1. Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a clean bowl.
  2. Add equal parts clean, filtered water to the lemon juice.
  3. Use a cotton ball to apply lemon juice/water solution all over your face.
  4. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and then wash off with water. Do not use soap.
How Often?
Every alternate day.

Method 2 – Lemon Juice And Yogurt Face Mask

The bleaching effect of the lemon juice and the cleansing property of yogurt create the combined result of lightening your dark spots and brightening your skin. Who doesn’t want to kill two birds with one stone, right?
What You Need
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp fresh yogurt

Method 3 – Lemon Juice And Sugar Face Scrub

The exfoliating benefits of sugar and the bleaching effect of lemon juice combined can make the perfect scrub to get rid of all your dead skin and give your face a refreshed glow.
What You Need
  • Half a lemon
  • 1 tsp sugar
How To Use
  1. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a clean bowl.
  2. Add a teaspoon of sugar to the lemon juice and mix well (you can also add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the mixture if you have dry skin).
  3. Rub the mixture between your fingers and scrub all over your face using circular motions, giving special attention to the dark spots.
  4. Keep scrubbing for two minutes.
  5. Wash off with clean water and pat dry your face.
How Often?
Once a week.
WARNING
  • Do not apply any home remedies containing lemon juice around or under your eyes as the skin in those areas is highly sensitive.
  • Do not go out into the sunlight during or right after using a lemon juice home remedy as it makes your skin highly sensitive and can cause sunburns.
Tips
  • Use only freshly squeezed lemon juice as the packaged variety contains preservatives that can harm your skin.
  • If you have sensitive skin, you could add honey or rose water to any of the above mixtures to make them gentler on your skin.
