Do you have pesky dark marks from skin damage or blemishes? One of our favorite ways to treat and camouflage these types of skin issues is by using lemons. Yes, that lemon in your fridge fruit drawer will do!
You will need:
1. One ripe lemon
2. Water – tap or bottled
3. Cotton Balls
4. Spray bottle
There are several methods that you may use to help aid skin imperfections and lighten dark spots. You can use lemon juice, or the rind to reap these benefits.
Cut the lemon into slices – you may rub the slices gently over your face or you may use a cotton ball to apply, let sit for a minute, and wipe away. Be careful that you have no open cuts or blemishes – this would sting!
You may also cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice into a spray bottle, add equal parts of water, shake and spray across the surface of your face. No need to wipe off.
You can even use the rind of the lemon to rub over your face as a mask. Add some brown sugar and water to create a soothing, lightening, natural and exfoliating mask.
These processes will help lighten skin over time – the results are not instant, however, you will see great results with continued use!
