Lemon Juice (as a drink)

I started drinking about 3 or so tablespoons a day, once in the morning and once at night. At first, it seemed like nothing was happening, although admittedly my skin was smoother. I stopped using it after five days or so and BAM! I wake up and I have minor pimples everywhere and 1-2 larger ones that I could tell where going to get a LOT bigger. Went back to drinking about 3 tablespoons (but just once) and applied some lemon juice topically, and they disappeared after a day or so. I really do like what it does but I had to quit because of the taste, it was absolutely awful and not worth it. I wasn't drinking fresh lemon juice though, it was bottled. I say if you don't mind how it tastes, please GO FOR IT! It really does work amazingly at reducing (and especially preventing) acne.

I drank a cup of lemon juice straight, everyday, for about 3 months. It noticably improved my acne. Prior to this, I was on Doryx, but I decided to stop because it was harming my liver. The lemon juice worked not only as good as doryx, but better. But alas, I am a singer, and I noticed I couldn't hit high notes after drinking this stuff. So I cut back to a cup twice per week, My skin still looks pretty good. I did quit for a while, and my skin went bad again, so I began using it again, and it went back to being clear.

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.

can someone tell me what im doing wrong ive been using this for 2 months everyday and overnight i use the lemon in the bottle and it does work because i used that before but why isnt my marks fading. it got lighter but its not going away.

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 would just like to add that I've been using this since Friday, and now it's Saturday, and I can already see a difference. I'm only 15, but have had to dealt with acne since I was about 12. For the past few years, I just covered my skin with products and make-up, hoping my acne would go away. Just recently I have really started to try things to get rid of my acne. Everyone at school seems to have beautiful skin, and it really made me feel ugly and embarrassed. I came across lemon juice and figured I'd try it. I have just a plain bottle of pure lemon juice in my fridge, and I poured about 6 teaspoons in a glass of water. The taste made me gag, and throughout the day drank it through a straw.. But also, I drank water constantly, which does nothing but help you even more. Throughout the day, I also put on a honey mask for kicks, but it left my skin kinda blotchy red.. Last night I drank another 3 teaspoons. Viola! This morning I woke up with most of all my acne going down, and only a few were. Bit pink. I havent seen much improvement in my scars, but that doesn't really bother me. I saw a slight difference! I really haven't felt this good in awhile, thanks to the lemon juice! I am going to continue drinking for the next few days and let everyone know.. But as of right now, everything is going smoothly.(:

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!

I am now more and more a believer that acne is derived from how much we have deviated from our ancestral path. In the western diet, many things cause individuals to go acidotic, believed to be a contributor to acne. By bringing your bodies ph back in line, your body can then begin to fix itself. Big advocate. Some great reviews detailing how acidic metabolizes to go alkalitic.

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

I`ll begin by saying that I suffered from acne for a very long time and after years of abusing my skin with over the counter products etc, I ended up with a more oily, sensitive, red, acne prone skin so I decided to do my own research and figure out a natural solution. So here it is...First, I cleanse my skin with extra virgin olive oil (cold pressed) mixed with salt. This is the scrub I use once a day in the morning, Next, If I`m at home during the day I put on a mask which is taking a raw potato (russet potato) and cut thin slices and smear all that good stuff on my face (yes even underneath your eyes..u can see whatever lines u have dissapear) and leave it for at least an hour, you will feel the tightness and watch your acne scars disapear with regular use. The potatoes contain vitamin C so its good for all things including brightening your skin, reducing wrinkles, heals acne scars and most of all it clears ur skin. if u already have pimples it shrinks them. Also smearing a banana on ur face is beneficial for both wrinkles and acne. (sorry off track)So after I rinse my face with warm water I take a cotton pad and dab some rose water and smear it on my skin (also underneath ur eyes) then add 2 drops of jojoba oil mixed with 2 drops of avocado oil in the palm of my hands and rub so both oils get mixed and apply. The first few times I done this my skin was left a bit shiny and oily looking but after a week or so I noticed the shine was reduced and my skin started to become even softer and had less breakouts.At night I cleanse my skin with just the olive oil then apply the tea tree oil wait a few min then apply the jojoba and avocado oil. As for the lemon water it works great, keeps your skin clear, prevents breakouts also, the oilyness is reduced,I saw the results almost immedately. for 700 ml i squeeze half a fresh lemon and add a bit honey to it forsome flavor aside from that I also take a teaspoon of omega 3 fatty fish oil daily, ur skin will improve dramatically
