Some of the best products we can use for beauty are your everyday natural products that you can find at home. There’s no need to spend a lot of money on skincare and beauty products when these things work a treat. Lemon is one of these everyday items that can be used for more than just cooking.

- Remove blackheads. Rub some lemon juice straight onto your blackheads at night, every night until they go away. Make sure to wash the lemon juice off in the morning.
- Lemon juice can lighten your uneven skin tone. It contains citric acid that naturally lightens your dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- It’s a teeth whitener. Mixed with a little baking soda, this combination rubbed on the teeth with a tooth brush or a cotton but can eventually whiten your teeth.
- It exfoliates the skin. Mixed with some sugar and honey, it works great to exfoliate the skin.
- Removes dandruff. Rub some lemon juice directly onto your scalp and leave it on for an hour or so. This is a great method of removing dandruff.
- Hardens nails. Soaking your nails in some lemon and water helps to harden your nails and makes them shinier.
- It’s a moisturising mask. Mixing some lemon juice and natural yogurt together acts as a moisturising facial mask that will also brighten your skin.
- It tightens wrinkles. Combined with a drop of almond oil and 1 teaspoon of honey, the mixture applied to your face for about 10-15 minutes will help to tighten and reduce wrinkles.
- Reduces acne. Apple some lemon juice directly to your problem areas to help reduce them.
- Removes scares. Because of its lightening properties, lemon juice applied on scarring will help to reduce the appearance of them.
Some things to remember:
Never go out into the sun with fresh lemon juice on your body. Make sure you wash it off.
Make sure you moisturise after you’ve used lemon. It is an acid, and can sometimes be drying.
