Lemon Juice (applied topically)

I have been insecure about my skin since high school. Some people are blessed when puberty hits them. But in some cases, like mine, I was SOL. My skin was HORRID! I would wear a black hoody and then I would try to cover my chin area with it in class (my chin was very severe). It has reduced as time went on, but recently I did a search out for the PERFECT SKIN. Lemon juice is on my face constantly. I love what it does to my skin. I feel my skin detoxifying before my eyes. Plus, I take cayenne pepper topically to help with my skin (Cayenne Pepper: 99 cents store, Empty Capsules: Vitamin Shopp or local pharmacy, dirt cheap) these two are opposites that attract. Look it up and give it a shot ;)

1. Wash the skin with any soap. 2. Apply lemon juice on the skin. 3. Remove any bad things from skin softly and easily or just leave it. 4. If you have an open wound, do not apply lemon juice to it. 5. Wash the skin with water and enjoy flat and soft skin

I never write reviews for products. But after trying this I had to share with everyone out there. I've had moderate acne for the past 4 years, it started my senior year of high school and just spiralled out of control ever since. I am now 21 and still suffer. Doctors and dermatologists have prescribed me everything short of accutane (which just isn't an option for me). After my mounting pile of failed products I decided to step away from Western medicine and synthetic cures and try some more holistic, natural remedies. I heard that applying lemon juice topically can significantly improve your skin quality very quickly. In addition to that, drinking lemon water is another way to calm and treat your acne internally. I've started doing both and, I kid you not, within 24 hours I've already noticed a DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT. Try it. You will not be disappointed.

Cutting up a whole lemon into 1 inch bits will help extract as much juice as possible. I often use a cotton ball for wiping across my face and/or a Q-tip for dabbing lemon juice directly on a larger pimple once a day. Other people have said to wash after 15 minutes, but I prefer to keep the juice on overnight until I wash with a light acne soap bar the next day. My pimples (and scars!) have certainly made progress after a week. They're obviously not entirely gone, but I can definitely see progress after such a short period of time. Luckily I haven't gone through the laborious process of trying over the counter products and such, but lemon juice has been one of my most helpful natural treatments! I hope it serves you all just as well.

For my face to be clear of acne scars (and acne,for that matter) like i have right now, i had to dump all my cleansers (from high-end to drugstore,and of japanese-korean variant) and focused on wearing the lemon juice (and make-up remover) alone on my face. I have hormonal acne,so accutane wont cure that (besides,i dont need the extra calory they come with). Im starting to have this extreme breakouts (puss-filled that left my face looking swollen and blotchy) when im hitting 20. I thought acne is supposed to stop when you've come to such age,but for me,it's getting worse. I even hit a period when i have this friends withdrawal because i know i look pathetic with countless acne scars (and fresh acne) on my face. Accutane wont work,and other trusted names were only worth using for 1 month,after that my face will revert to its old state (and worse). So i decided to ditch all the chemicals and to use fresh lemon juice as my mask and cleanser to see how it goes. It works, and i've been using it for 6 months straight right now. I still have heavy breakouts every now and then,but it's barely noticeable, because the lemon juice seems to put a stop to it. Just be sure to put it as soon as you noticed there's a lurker, and wear some fresh pulp on the spot and let it dry like a mask. I have gone 5 days without using any lemon on my face,and boy,i regrets it. Like i said,it's hormonal problem - something i cant help but to deal with it,that's why now i never go through a day without the juice. 2 days tops.

This thing is so great. I used it for the first time yesterday. I did something different though. I know many have said to only use it once a day. Well, I thought that by using in at least 4 times a day would speed up the healing process and for me it did. It brought up at least 3 new pimples and they also dried out by the next day! They pretty much just fell off :)) Anyways. I woke up and my face was glowy although I have supperficial acne spots that are very red throughout both my cheeks. This will take time to heal and i must be patient and let me tell you i am not very patient. I'm going to keep doing this 4x a day thing for ever! I clean my face with a VERY gentle cleanser and then i just dap w a cotton ball the juice and let it sit and wait 1 hour and apply again and wait 1hr and reapply and so on until I do it 4x. I make sure i do this so that by the time ive done the 4th time, its time for me to go to bed. Wake up in the morning and gently just rinse off and apply spf oil free non comedonegenic of 15 or more.

When I heard about lemon, I thought why not try it? It's cheap. And natural. And I've heard that it works. And it does! Every night I was my face with a gentle cleansing wash( I use Purpose). I then cut off a slice of the lemon and gently rub it on to me face. Some people may experience burning or itchiness but what I do if right after I put it on, I sit in front of a fan and the fan dries it on my face and then it soothes my skin. Then go to bed...wake up...SHAZAM! It helps! My skin feels tighter, softer, and the acne has gotten smaller and less red.

i've tried many kind of products which doesn't work for me,instead they only make my acne worse.fortunately, i've come across this site and decided to give it a try.. the red marks on my face have reduced and my skin are lightened though it left my skin quite dry,however,it's worth a try..

I actually began using lemon juice for my acne scars. I put a dime size amount of lemon juice on a cotton ball and apply it to my entire face. I leave it on for about twenty minutes then rinse it off with warm water. It has visibly reduced my acne scars, some of which were quite deep and noticeable I might add. It has also made my face look more radiant. I do make sure to use moisturizer with it however because it does dry out areas of my face, but other than that, this method has helped a great deal in reducing the appearance of my acne scars =)

I had a pimple that resisted EVERY treatment known to man. It stayed on my face right between my eyes for a good 2 weeks, every morning it looked just as red as the day before. It wasn't extremely huge, but still very annoying. The skin around it was slightly wrinkly so it was difficult to conceal with makeup. Out of desperation I applied a drop of lemon juice. It was 100% pure lemon juice from the little bottles in the grocery store. I kid you not, 15 minutes later the red turned pink. I applied it once a day for the next 2 days- it's GONE. Lemon juice is amazing. I use it as a toner everyday after my skincare routine. Be sure to moiisturize as well. Good luck <3
