Lemon Juice (applied topically)

Go buy some

Lemon juice is amazing. I love the taste of lemons and heard it lightens skin but never needed it for that purpose. I have mild scarring and have brown skin so my scars are more prominent I would think. I read that lemons were good for fading scares and killing bacteria in your pores which are the cause of acne. So I tried it just mix a teaspoon of honey in half a bowl of natural lemon juice not the store bought staff. The acidity burns at first but you have to endure it because it works like magic and still doesn't damage your skin. My face looks and feels to good to be true I have barely any oiliness and my scares are fading after just 3 uses they are almost completely gone. It annoys me that I never thought to try other skin care methods because I could of had a flawless complexion if I learnt the wonders of a 30 minute daily lemon mask ages ago. PLEASE TRY IT THIS A SECRET EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. Oh and remember to apply it daily with a cotton ball not your finger which can counteract the effect ;)

been doing this for 2 days and got hit on for the first time in like a year! just thought i had to post after that haha. I cut a slice off and rub my face gentally for about 3 min then rinse off after 15 min.

It works amazingly fast i have minor scaring and acne and in four days it came off ; D yay!

I enjoyed using lemon juice because it's natural and it smells great, and I noticed my skin seemed softer and less irritated. It didn't get rid of my pimples, but the skin around the pimples looked radiant! lol I say give it a try and see what happens. Just squeeze juice from half a lemon, and dilute it with a tiny bit of water. Dip a cotton ball or pad into is and gently wipe your skin. I had to rinse it off my hands because it was stinging, but surprisingly it didn't sting or burn my face or shoulders (I have extremely sensitive skin, so I was worried about it burning).

For notice: I break out mostly on my forehead and under my cheek bones, and on my chin. I also break out on my shoulders, a tad bit on my sternum, and my lumbar region. I have very oily skin and am prone to black heads, hard spots, and pimples on my face. On my back and on my chest, I'm prone to pimples. I have a regimine that's been working for my face and back, and I also change my pillow case and use a detergent that's perfume and dye free. Some parts (like the scars, black heads, and oil) were persistent. When I saw the reviews for lemons, I decided to give it a try by using it as a toner. I bought a few lemons, and then cut out a small wedge. After I took a shower with a mask, I rinsed my face with a cleanser and left it wet. Then, I actually took the fruit of the wedge and started lightly rubbing it in my problem areas I left my skin wet so it'd be diluted, when I put the lemon straight on my face. It stung a little on my already broken skin and somewhat on the rest of the areas, but it was barely stinging. BARELY. I didn't rinse it off, but instead let it sit there for about thirty seconds, then used my moisturizer, sunscreen, and Clearasil. For my body acne, I rubbed some water on my back's problem areas, and then rubbed the lemon in. And holy CHEESE AND CRACKERS did it STING. I grit my teeth and did the little "ow ow ow" dance, resisting the urge to rinse. I let it sit for longer than I did on my face, and then I rubbed some scar lotion over it, and then the acne cream. The results: MY FACE LOOKS AMAZING. Blackheads are diminishing, and my pimples have gone down. Hard spots are still there, but I use a tool to be rid of them. Scars are almost gone. Back acne is gone, scars are still there but fading. Remember, water on face first, THEN lemon juice. Use a light moisturizer with SPF over it and rub it in. Use it DURING THE DAY, not at night. I'd honestly avoid going outside until your skin is hea

I posted one review of this one already, where I describe my usage of it for prevention of reinfection of squeezed out zits. It works like magic for that and I use it only on the zit in its undiluted form. However, if you want to use it for your entire face I suggest you dilute it with water! It's way to harsh for your skin if it's pure! The reason it works is that acne bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) don't like acidic pH. So when I don't have lemon, I use vinegar (diluted!).

When I first started using lemon juice three weeks ago I bought the bottled kind made from concentrate, I got ok results but nothing drastic like I was expecting. A few days ago I decided to try fresh lemons instead by cutting it in half and rubbing it on my face, wow what a difference it made! My skin isn't sensitive at all so I do this twice a day. I start my day by washing with clear pore by neutrogena I immediately rub half a lemon on my face, let it sit for about an hour, then I rinse it off with cold water. In the evening I wash with clear pore and follow with the other half of the lemon and leave it on overnight. I've been doing this for 4 days and my acne is 90% gone. YAY!

It's cheap, and it works! I just cut a lemon in half and squeeze/rub it on my face. Sounds nuts, but it gets the job done. I leave it on for a while (at least until dry) and wash it off with Oxy face wash. I'd recommend using a face moisturizer if you have dry skin already, but for me I have super oily skin so it's not needed. I've also read where you can use a mixture of it and water as well. I used to get complemented on how beautiful my skin was, because of this, even though I thought I'd never have pretty skin since I've been suffering from acne since I was thirteen. I've tried almost everything. If anything its worth a try! Its a common kitchen item.

So here's my scenario: It was 8 days until a big event, and I'd had some acne scars on my face since I can't remember when. They just wouldn't seem to go away. So every night, I applied pure lemon juice (not watered down at all) squeezed from a lemon to my face using little round cotton pads from the drug store. I let it sit for 15 minutes, then washed my face with a washcloth. After just 5 or 6 days, my scars were barely noticable!! My face looks perfectly clear now!! The only drawback is the sting, but I just grit my teeth and bear it, because it WORKS!
