Lemons are natural toners and cleansers, making them the go-to for everything from brightening your hair to banishing oily skin. Here are some great uses for the sunny yellow fruit:
- Reduce oil: cut a lemon in half and squeeze its juice. Then gently rub the inside of the lemon on your face, especially in the so-called “T-zone”. Avoid this treatment if your skin is too sensitive or if you have acne.
- Lighten skin: fill a spray bottle with half lemon juice and half water. Spray the solution into your face. Be careful if you have some cuts or bruises.
- Natural hair lightener: no need to spend a fortune at the hairdressers. Drip a few drops of lemon juice in conditioner and let it sit for a few minutes under the sunlight. It works better on light-colored hair.
- Whiten nails: dip your nails in in a homemade solution of lemon or just apply lemons to your fingers.
- Scrub body: slice a lemon in half and dip into granulated sugar. Rub vigorously on rough patches of skin, especially the feet, elbows, and kneecaps.
