Lemons


So, I've been asked lately by most of my friends, "What have you been using on your face??". I tell them, lemons, and they look at me kinda funny.

Seriously, I use fresh squeezed lemon juice every night before going to bed. I used to get break outs around my chin and occasionally on my forehead. Nothing serious, just more of those nagging zits that like to linger and look awful you know. With in three days of using lemons, my face was almost clear, in a week I had NO zits left. After about a month, I started to notice my dark spots left over from previous zits disappearing and so were my scars. I have been faithfully using this method for almost 7 months now, and not a zit since. I buy the larger lemons and cut in half. If you take the palm of your hand and press down hard while rolling on a flat surface, it will make it easier to juice. Keep juice in a container with a tight fitting lid for up to 10 days in the fridge. Now, this might burn a bit depending on your skin, mine wasn't that bad and after a couple days, I didn't notice it anymore. I have oily skin on my face, so I didn't dry out, but if you do, get some aloe lotion. Key to remember, do not wash it off.
