Hi guys,
I have a quick question for anyone who has any experiences or knowledge on what im about to ask in this post. I am currently using Fresh Lemon topically on my face to help with my redmarks. I love the results im getting. I do believe it has helped a tiny bit to decrease the redness and it leaves my face feeling incredibly smooth after each use. I usually keep the lemon on for about 6 to 7 hours. Then rinse it off with just cold water.
I've been reading some good things about how Lime Juice is considered an excellent skin whitener. People back in the day used to use this for facials(topically). Since skin whiteners are usually good for redmarks, i'm considering taking a couple tablespoons of lime juice with my water by mouth. Because I dont wanna be using the Lemon and the Lime topically together. May cause me to breakout. The lemon currently is doing an excellent job of not letting that happen.
Do you guys think this is a good idea? Are Lemon and Lime generally the same?
Thanks Alot.
make sure your face is clean first of all....no BP or other bullshit on it.
i cut the lemon in half.
I then take the seeds out from the center with a knife.
I then poke holes in the lemon where the seeds were and around that, so it gets juicy.
I then stand beside a mirror and rub it all over my face.
BE AWARE.....it will sting like a BEOTCH for the first 2 minutes. Especially if you have any little cuts.
Then it will be okay. Dont pat your face dry or anything. Let it absorb in by itself. Then continue on with your day. Im not to sure about the vinegar. Never tried it.
ahhhhhhh why are people asking me questions.....im in need of freaking answers.
Lemon Juice at night?! I DON'T think that would work out so good because i think its alot easier to rub off on your pillow since it doesnt really completly absorb. Second, it will make ur face a bit sticky....so you might wake up with a bunch of fluff and dust pieces stuck to ur face.
Just use it in the day.
ballaballa...I've tried doing cucumber masks on my face (just peel and apply!), and it's supposed to be only good for whitening your face. But not so much spot treatments.
I use about 3/4 white vinegar and 1/4 lemon juice in mine. The lemon juice makes it smell much better too!
P.S. It's very convenient to juice your own lemons (I have an old school centrifugal type spinning juicer), and then keep the juice in a bottle. Then use cotton balls to apply.
