Most of us are familiar with the dietary benefits of lemons, but did you know that this small citrus fruit is also good for skin and hair? Packed with antioxidants like vitamin C, fresh lemon juice can work miracles, from helping lighten dark spots to removing hair product buildup from your scalp. Lemons can be used in a myriad of ways in your daily beauty routine.
Lemon juice can help strengthen nails (mix it with some olive oil) and whiten yellowing nails, and can also help brighten your hair color, calm a dry scalp, and even remedy dandruff. Adding a few drops of lemon juice to your cleanser or soap will help remove dirt and bacteria. The antibacterial properties of lemons also make them a perfect natural alternative to treat acne, and they can efficiently combat oily skin and reduce blackheads. Lemon juice also helps deep-clean pores, tighten large pores, and refresh the skin.
