Lemon Juice (as a drink)

I have had pretty bad acne on my forehead for the past year and no topical treatments have helped. I have been wanting to try a treatment that would cure me from the inside out. I would definitely try drinking lemon juice for at least a week if nothing else has helped your acne (it can't hurt)! I saw noticeable improvement within two days (my forehead acne is completely gone and my complexion looks great!). I drink one cup of warm water mixed with half a fresh squeezed lemon first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I wait a half hour before eating or drinking anything else. I like to use fresh lemon, but if I don't have any at home, I use a few tablespoons of organic lemon juice from the fridge.

Lemon juice not only changes from acidic to alkaline in the digestive tract, that transformance actually brings our body's pH level back to more normal (especially if we eat a lot of acidic foods like meat, etc)... helps our bodies (liver) regulate themselves, digest better, detoxes by helping the kidneys flush out toxins. Although not a true "con", lemon juice is also a diuretic, so be sure to drink a lot of water to keep hydrated. The water we are drinking will help flush out all the toxins in our system, and the water keeps us hydrated. Try to use either distilled water or filtered water to mix your freshly squeezed lemons for the best effect. Tap water just doesn't do it, so the results may be disappointing. Be prepared to pee like crazy for the first few days, even at night...once our body has gotten used to the lemon juice (I drink it every morning, and sometimes evening), we don't feel the need to pee as often. Small price to pay to feel fabulous, look even fabulouser (lol) and stay healthy. A slightly alkaline body is very healthy...makes our bodies inhospitable for bacteria & viruses, and the benefits are so overwhelmingly positive!

I put lemon in anything that i drink. I drink water most of the time but every now and then i'll have a sprite or a glass of Kool-aid. Basically i only drink things without caffeine. Caffeine most certainly contributes to acne and anyone that tells you different is a liar. Lemon water has completely changed my life and my skin. I always knew that water was necessary to clear skin but i think adding the lemon only made it better. I have had acne for so long and drinking lemon water has completely changed my life. I am more confident and i even cut my long hair short since my skin has improved so much. I may only get one or two bumps a month, which is better than a whole bunch of them crowding on my cheeks. I have been drinking lemon water for only a few months and none of the medicines i have taken can compare to the results this has done for me.

Bottom line: It works. I have tried almost everything (except Accutane) and spent years of frustration and tons of money on products that didn't work. What I do is wash and cut one lemon in half, and squeeze half of it into a glass of water. Mix and then drink, one in the morning and one at night. For a couple days I had nasty, black diarrhea (prob the toxins coming out). My skin is clearing! I also lightly apply the lemon juice on my face at night every 2-3 days. Scars are fading too

I started drinking lemon juice because of a sore throat. the acid in the lemon juice kills the bacteria. After i started drinking it, i noticed that it was reducing the numbers of pimples i had. It also reduced the amount of break-outs i have, which now is basically none. it is also reducing the redness that i have had on my face from pimples that i have popped. i think this is one of the only, and also the easiest thing i have found that actually works wonders for acne. it is not just clearing up the acne that i have on my face, it is also clearing up the acne that i have on my chest. I have tried everything possible for acne, i have been to many dermatologist, but none of the medicine that they have gave me has worked as well as the lemon juice has in such a short amount of time. if anyone were to ask me how i cleared up my acne, I would have to tell them that i drink lemon juice. and that it actually works. For me the monthly cost is around $8.00 because i go through one bottle of lemon concentrate a week. i mix it with water and it is just so easy to use, and it gives fast results.

This is a great way to help control acne and other kinds of pimples. Make hot green tea and add one peppermint leaf and take lemon juice and squeeze in on your peppermind green tea, it WORKS GREAT! green tea contains lots of antioxidents and lemons are great for fighting bacteria. try it :)

I just lemon juice( not fresh squeezed ) in the morning and night. I add a few teaspoons of it in my first cup of water and my last. I'm very happy with my results.

Wow all I have to say is wow! I love drinking pure lemon juice. I hate adding it to water cause it tasted disgusting so I just drink straight lemon juice. Make sure you don't drink it cold or else your stomach has to make it warm before it absorbs! I've gotten used to the taste (I didn't think I would at first but I guess fruit juice and anything that's very sour no longer bothers me. You just gotta tell yourself 'Not sour not sour not sour' and be confident about it! It just takes a few times and you get amazing results. I recommend it! As for the bad teeth just drink water immediately after drinking the juice and you won't have to worry. Thank you lemon juice! I shall respect you!

I've been using lemon juice concentrate for about a week now. During the first few days, redness increased, acne stayed the same, and skin texture softened. Then I started to drink the lemon juice diluted in warm water instead of straight-up, and everything is improving. I microwave water in a coffee mug, add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice concentrate, and drink through a straw, first thing in the morning and after dinner. I also recommend eliminating dairy and soy if you haven't already. Good luck and God bless us all!

Lemon water works. It eliminates the Unwanted. I'm Spanish my skin is white but I scar dark. I'm 22 and I've had acne since I was 8. But last summer it got so bad I was embarrassEd to go outside. I was desprite, I did half of a whole lemon in a glass of warm water every morning for almost 3 weeks. My scars were getting lighter and lighter until they disappeared which was amazing to watch and I just stopped breaking out. Until I started getting tiny little bumps all around my my ears my neck my chest and around my eyes, around my eyes got a little swollen which was slightly noticeable. So I stopped. I was consuming way to much for way to long I was playing a dangerous game. Long story short don't over do it. One wedge a day should be enough. Try to eat clean try to stay away fro, the toxic stuff
