Lemon Juice (as a drink)

I have a very sensitive skin. I drink lemon juice (half lemon) squeezed into lukewarm water with a teaspoon of honey on empty stomach early morning & at night before sleeping. Also, before sleeping, I dab fresh lemon juice directly on the acne & acne marks with an ear bud. I once applied lemon juice directly & let it on my skin overnight. I experienced new breakouts after 2 days. So, I apply lemon juice just on the effected area using an ear bud (so that it doesn't spread out on other areas) for around 30 minutes & wash it off with room temperature water. I could see my acne scars fading as well as the existing acne development stops. I have been doing this from past 2 weeks & I see good results. Note: It tinges a bit when you put on the lemon juice directly, due to citric acid. Try doing it for 3-4 days. If u see any improvement continue. But, stay away from leaving it on your skin overnight.

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 have been drinking green tea with fresh squeezed lemon juice three times throughout the day; once after breakfast, once in the afternoon and at night. I have seen a good improvement, and its only been a month. I think that lemon juice, if used properly, can work for everyone. I think its VERY important to use this in conjunction with a good diet..one involving LOTS of fresh produce! I can almost promise that if you eat well, exercise, get enough sleep every night, drink LOTS of water and use the lemon juice, your skin will be sooo much more clear!

Helps clear up skin. It works pretty well. Ive had problem zits since i was 13, and while other products have helped sometimes, this is the only thing that has almost always worked. If i never had discovered this, i dont know where i'd be now.

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.

This is by now means a cure however I do believe it did prove beneficial to the appearance of my skin and both my mental and physical well-being. Remember every alternate week to take a lesser dose to maintain maximum effect.

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..
