Use lemon for natural skin lightening :


                                                               Hi there lovelies!!
   
                        Lemon juice has a variety of uses for natural skin and beauty treatments. 
              Here are some of the ways you  can use lemon as a natural part of your beauty regimen.


·      Use fresh lemon juice on any area of your body, including the knees, elbows, and face to brighten up and soften your skin. Lemon juice also fades freckles, age spots and black heads by applying lemon juice before going to bed at night. Over the course of a week or two, it will cleanse the skin and lighten its color. 
                         If your skin is sensitive to the citric acid in lemons, you may desire to dilute
                                the lemon juice with a bit of water rather than use it full strength.

·                     To make a hair conditioner for dull, damaged hair combine 3/4 cup Olive Oil, with 1/2 cup raw honey and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Use the mixture by combing the lemon juice mixture evenly throughout already wet hair. Then cover hair with a plastic cap or bag for a 1/2 hour. Shampoo and rinse this conditioner out of your hair.


  • ·                     For strong, shiny, bright fingernails soak your fingernails in lemon juice for about 10 minutes. Then brush your fingernails with a nail brush dipped in a mixture of 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 warm water and then rinse with warm water.

 ·                     Lemon water is also great for detoxifying for your body. In a glass of warm water, squeeze half a lemon and sweeten with 1 tsp of honey. Lemon juice aids your liver in flushing out unwanted toxins, stimulates blood circulation, reduces arterial pressure, and activates bile and intestinal secretions. So it's a good idea to drink lemon water daily.
