I have used lemons on my face as a "toner". It's kind of like putting ACV on your face. I've read that it's a secret in the 'model' world, as they also use lemons on their face. I've never eaten lemons for acne, but rubbing them on your face is suppose to be good for acne.

 

 

I've tried using lemons on my face and OMG it burned!!! I'll stick to lemon water...how many glasses per day do you think I shuld drink to see results? I'm only at one a day right now. Flaxseed...is that an oil? you mix it with water?

 

It does burn

I would drink 3-4 glasses to start with and then add more if needed. I dont drink lemon water, I would figure it would be no different than drinking the 8 glasses you're suppose to, just adding lemon to them, but I'm not sure. I did a fast over the summer, I drank nothing but lemon water for three days. I noticed a huge difference in my skin and the way I felt. More refreshed, more energy and overall felt great. That was the last and only time I've drank lemon water.

Would adding honey to lemon water work? (supposing i am using the equivalent of a whole lemon) . . . Would the honey affect the effectiveness of the lemon?

I can't even stomach a 1:1 ratio of lemon and water let alone eating lemons straight . . . I am sure my stomach cannot handle it.

Anyone see results using honey/lemon/water?

i dont think drinking lemon water would mess up any thing but eating them str8 would i just did it one time last night and my skin looka really good today but i think just drinking 8 glasses a day would be the same but good luck.

I have been drinking lemon with hot water 1:1 each day for about a week now and today, I tried straight lemon and my stomach was girgling. It felt weird, I dont think my stomach can handle it. Kinda like a reacting taking place in my stomach so I had to drink more water to dilute it.

I know I can't take lemons straight because my tongue gets all kinds of sores on it when I have too much sour stuff. The lemon water seems to be helping my skin, but I can't do it every day, cause it makes me have to pee like, every 5 minutes.

I saw Milk Thistle at the health food store, but I wasn't sure how it worked. I'm assuming that taking it makes you have to go to the washroom...so it is like, something you take everyday? Or just for a week as a cleanser? I'm pretty sure i need a liver cleanse, but I'm thinking abut how that would work into going to school....It would have to be a weekend thing for me I guess...

I put way too much lemon in my water and got a sore throat. If I do it by adding just a little squirt in my waterbottle then all is well. I like it.

How 'bout this...I bet you $10 dollars lemons will not make a difference? I'll give you 5:1 odds - so if it does help, I'll send you $50 dollars (paypal) and if it doesn't you send me $10?

I'll take a picture of my face at the time I see your reply, I'll take pictures of myself eating as many lemons as you like (within reason, no more than 3 a day?).

I'll keep taking pictures of my face and eating the lemons - if after 1 week it's not noticibly better you lose.

You guys can also try drinking apple cider vinegar. It has the same acid content as lemons do, I think. I drink a few glasses a day, and I think it helps with some of my acne.

mmmm......that stuff is disgusting!!! although it duz work topically!

but ill stick to drinking the lemons!

ROBDUDE ill bet u but u gotta do the entire diet. If u start out with lemon water every morning and eat salmon, romaine lettuce, cantalope, and blueberries for breakfast lunch and dinner for 3 days str8 and u dont see a huge difference in ur skin ill paypal u 100$.

Lemons I could handle, but I dunno about the whole diet....nothing but Salmon, Romaine Lettuce, Cantalope and blueberries?

I really want to take you up on this - but man, that would ruin my diet. It's only 3 days though, but, damn, that sounds nasty. Let me try salmon tomorrow and see if I could do it, lol.

Actually except for the fact that it would cost a mint (I figure 3 days worth of salmon, blueberries and canteloupe would run 50+$) it wouldn't be too hard to follow, though I doubt many groceries even carry fresh blueberries now.

hmm...i guess Ill give the lemon thing a shot. ill start with one lemon a day for a couple of days, and slowly move onto 2 then 3 lemons...

Not to diss this idea, but sometimes I come on here and laugh at the crap people come up with... mainly about 'masturbation causes acne!' where as sex doesn't? Just crazy how much we subject our face to where another person without acne wouldn't. Lemon doesn't sound too bad though but I'm on a green tea/lemon/honey bath thing at the moment.

This is dumb question butttt with kids idea your suposed to eat lemons WITH or WITHOUT the skin...please say without

I think without... but I know the skin is very beneficial as well, but just from organic lemons though...

Robdude, why do you think it wont have any effect on your face? I dont get any pimples/cysts when I use it 2 times a day...

I agree with Veen. I'm pretty sure you shouldn't eat the skin unless its organic.

mmm...dont think the skins would taste too good

so how long do u eat these lemons for? everyday? forever? and are limes just as good?

I ate one lemon yesterday, and put one in the juicer today and drank that straight. Im a bit hessitant eating it for my teeths sake litterly dose strip all the enamel of the teeth so i drink it through a straw to minimise the acid. Do you think blending it would change results if any.

Is it good to mix lemon with honey or something? I can kind of drink lemon with a lil bit of water but I dont think I can eat it straight. I also use lime (this should be the same results right since its acid)?

Hey KIDDDD,

I see the lemons are working Can you stand drinking them str8 ? Ok, now I'm gonna drink 'em str8 2 ! Like you said, you can almost see the zits vanashing. Are you clear already ?

One caution for you folks out there:

DRINK WITH A STRAW !

yea i drank 3 huge LIMES yesterday at work (stole their limes) w/a straw...love limes...but do they work just as good as LEMONS?

Neither will work internally anyway, so yes they will.

Lemons are mildly antiseptic so they work topically, but they also are highly acidic and seriously aggrivate many people's skin.

Where does a liver flush actually send this stuff do you think? Into the magical wonky land of happy fun times?

Some people need to read up on liver function. It doesn't work like the colander you empty into the garbage.

lemons do work internally what are u talking about. Acne isint actually caused by the food its caused by bad digestion and food toxicity. Lemons aid digestion and clean out toxins, I even notcied that as long as i drink lemon water before eating junk food i never get any new pimples regardless of what i eat, and sugar can only cause acne if u dont exercise it off. Drink lemonw ater before u eat junk food and u shouldnt get any new pimples, when u eat tons of sugar just exercise and that should prevent new flare ups also. Another thing is people just wanna see acne dissapear in 1 day that wont happen, to test of something is working u have to give it about a week and if no new pimples are forming then ur on ur way to clear skin once all the existing ones fade away.
