When Life gives you lemons....

Who would've known that lemons would have many benefits other than lemonade?! There are many articles and out and advertisements out there showing different facial treatments and skin peels that may be costly! I use a cheap effective way of doing the same thing for your face. Basically this is a way to exfoliate for your face to make it SO much smoother and softer. All that you need to use in this homemade treatment are:

lemons (preferably fresh)

sugar
flat cotton pads


Okay, now that you have all your ingredients you may use the lemon juice the stores sell in the plastic bottles but fresh lemons would be better! :)


Did you know?

The largest organ in your body is your skin? So whatever you put on your skin will soak up in your body. Using organic sugar (if you can) will help with less irritations from the chemicals depend on how sensitive your skin is.

FIRST take a cotton pad and squeeze some of the lemon juice on the pad.

SECOND sprinkle a good amount of sugar on top of the pad

THIRD now rub the pad on your face in circular motions focusing on where your oil glands are such as your chin and your T-Zone.

If the lemon is a bit too sensitive for your face you can dilute it with some water and should work out perfectly!

You can repeat this treatment whenever you would like depending on how sensitive your face is!! For me I do it twice a week:)

Lemons benefit you because they rid of blackheads, acne, sun spots, age spots, discoloration of the skin, and much more! It is also said to boost your immune system and stimulate circulation!

Enjoy!
