Lemon Juice (as a drink)

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

This plus Dan's Method has really stopped any new zits from forming which for me is a miracle. I do still have red marks that are fading (SLOWLY) but it's very cheap and keeps me drinking more water than I used to, so I say give it a shot. I warm the water a bit too sometimes since I've read that is usually more effective. Good luck!

I am 30 and suffer pretty bad hormonal breakouts. Came across the lemon juice thing and thought that it wouldn't hurt to try. AMAZING!!!!!! I started to see improvement in less than 24 hours. Besides having the acne itself I also pick at it too. Sometimes pretty badly. Within a day my skin was much more calm and was actually glowing. I would also like to add that I have started taking chelated zinc 2x a day to balance my hormones and Kyolic garlic capsules 3x a day which is antibacterial. Both are also anti-inflammatory. Lemon juice helps to detox the liver. Great combination. 4 days later no visible acne on my face.

I received a 'zingo' bottle in my Christmas stocking - you put half a lemon in the bottom and fill up with water. It makes tasty infused water! I normally drink a lot during the day anyway, so using this bottle, I end up drinking around 3/4 bottles of lemon infused water a day. I wouldn't replace the lemon during the day so it became more and more diluted, which I guess is better for teeth etc. I've suffered from acne for as long as I can remember - tried all creams, medications etc! Recently, I've been surprised to notice that my skin has completely cleared. Blackheads gone, scarring reduced, smoother complexion and no new spots for the past 2 weeks!!?? I'm not totally sure it's completely down to the lemon but seems too much of a coincidence not to be - lemons are full of vitamin C and antioxidants. The only thing I have changed is adding lemon to my daily water! It's transformed my skin - would recommend trying to anyone struggling.

Well I have only been drinking lemon juice in the morning and right before bed for about 3 days and I could already see a great difference! I am not kidding!!! Acne is a hormonal problem that usually is started in the teens my theory because the body is going through so many changes that poor acidic food choices take a burden on the liver which in return makes it have to correct the body to being more alkaline naturally. With this process of the body having to do so, it doesn't give the liver enough 'power' to work properly so it calls the skin for back-up. Here is where the lemon works! My theory is natural is the best way in insuring that one grows out of acne. Acne companies are making way too much money selling crap when natural remedies work (in my case I use honey every night to treat my problem area). I plan on drinking lemon water until I know that my body is balanced at a cellular level to acne freedom. Can not recommend LEMON water enough!

BUY SOME LEMON!!

It's really effective.. I recommend starting the day with one glass of hot water and lemon juice from 1 lemon.. I've been doing this for 2 weeks and my acne is almost gone. My tip is that you wait at least 30 min after finishing the hot lemon juice before eating breakfast, to give the lemon time to remove dirt and sh*t from your liver etc..

I've been drinking lemon water (1/2 lemon freshly squeezed in luke warm water) for 4 months now. I drink it 1 hour before breakfast and before bedtime. Results: Soft skin- I no longer use conditioner, less oily hair, got rid of my 4 year battle with acne, got rid of scars, better digestion, less colds, more energy. The lemon is a powerful alkalinizer which is why it works. Acne is a result of too much acid in our body which shows in our skin. Do your research on the internet about acidity & alkalinity in our bodies. It will change your life.

lemon juice is one of the most alkalizing foods you can eat. while it is an acid, it alkalizes in the body. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. most sickness is caused by a bodily enviorment that is too acidic. most people eat so much acid forming food, they're body is a breeding ground for disease. y? because the body is spending so much time using its immune system to balance out the acid, that it hasnt much time to try other festering diseases(acne, cancer, the common cold) ask ure doctor what would happen to you if ure blood reached an acidic level of only 6.9(one 10th of a point below neutral). keeping ure body alkaline is amazingly important. lemon juice is the best way to do it. my skin cleared up in 2 days and most of the hyperpigmentation i have from being a picker is significantly gone. at first i was only using lemon juice topically(which also has its pros) but i didnt see such amazing results til i started drinking warm lemon water. USE ORGANIC LEMONS!!!

I've been using lime juice in hot water rather than lemons but I believe it works in the same way. I was drinking this for two weeks for the general health benefits and not for acne but during that time I found my skin was less oily and somehow smoother. I forgot to drink it for a few days and my skin became more oily and puffy and I couldn't work out what it was until I realised the only thing I'd changed was to not drink the lime water. I'm amazed that such a simple thing can make such a difference! It won't solve your acne completely but it'll make your skin healthier making breakouts less likely.
