Right, so I have been having lemonade daily, using freshly squeezed juice of one lemon…
In a hope that it will help me obtain a fresher looking skin … some people told me to use lemon juice on the face , but my skin is sensitive to it so i didnt use it, instead i chose to drink it as it also contains a good amount of vitamin C …
so far i havnt noticed any difference to my skin …
any one knows if lemons are any good for the skin and what other benefits do they have ?

Re: Lemon Juice benefits ...

Re: Lemon Juice benefits ...
it's supposed to lighten scarring and blemishes..but i've never tried it..even though i should
Re: Lemon Juice benefits …
Thanks AE … 
yeah Marwah, it definitely lightens the blemishes if you put it on along with honey and oat in the form of a mask …
I am really on the lookout to see if anyone experienced any difference to their skin after drinking lemon juice for a good few weeks 
**Quite frankly I do not think it works towards improving your skin tone or texture....I did this for years....1 freshly squeezed lemon in and glass of water at room temperature, 1st thing every morning....
It's a great weight lose regimen though! I was under the impression that this will prevent pimples in my teens....on contrary it made me skinny to the point of all bones :p....I was always slim to begin with so I stopped or else I would have become Anorexic!
I would says it didn't really do anything for my skin....one of the older ladies in family also said this combination is too acidic when taken on empty stomach thus making your bones weak and might cause stomach ulcer in long run! Plus it hurts your tooth enamel as well*...

Maybe adding a little bit honey might help....I personally couldn't do that cause honey made me break out **....*

I was told the same when I used to drink this concoction loooooong ago...However, I have read that drinking hot water first thing in the morning is good for the body because it helps flushing out all the toxins and that detoxification reflects on your skin too.
Re: Lemon Juice benefits ...
FOR SKIN: lemons are an excellent astringent and exfolient because of the amount of acid in them. if you have sensitive skin, try diluting it with cold water 50/50 and then apply with a cotton ball. i've noticed that this helps alot.
FOR WEIGHT LOSS: i've heard that if you drink a mug full of warm water with 1 tsp honey and 1-2 tsp of lemon FIRST thing in the morning it helps jump start your metabolism to help with digesting fat during the day. i dont know how accurate this is as i've never tried it!
as hot as u can drink it.
oh and yes…i too heard that applying lemon juice helps lighten dark patches on your body.
also…I drank lemon water with a tsp of honey every morning for about a month or so…I noticed a difference in my skin (or maybe it was all in my head). I need to go back to doing that tho 
lets all try it for a month and report back to this thread! 
Re: Lemon Juice benefits …
i start my day with a cup of real OJ and real cranberry juice mixed together. my skin is like porcelain. 
queer…what are u doing here? 
p.s im sure you add a bit of vodka in that 2 
maybe thats what gives you that glow
Drinking it is supposed to 'cleanse' u're system.. applying it directly onto u're skin fades blemishes. It's also used on the "t-zone" to combat oiliness.

how do we apply lemon juice on pimples? i mean applying directly may lead to hyper senstivity right?
Just rub a half-cut lemon directly onto the scars. I don't suggest u apply it to active acne or raw/broken skin.
Re: Lemon Juice benefits …
Lemon juice everyday…on an empty stomach cannot be good for you in the longterm…
Re: Lemon Juice benefits ...
i used to use lemon juice on my face years ago but then i stoppd cos it gave me more spots the i needed.
