lemon tips 
two tips i learnt this week involving lemons

tip #1: for pretty complexion, use lemon on your skin
it's supposed to be really good for drying out pimples, removing blackheads, etc
and also acts as a smoothing/lightening agent (similar to how lemon juice lightens hair)

apply the lemon juice about 3 times a week, for results.
for unsensitive skin, you can just rub a lemon slice directly onto your face. 
for sensitive skin, you can squeeze the lemon juice into a cup, dilute it with water and then use a cotton ball to wipe it on your face. 
leave it overnight and then wash it off in the morning. 
 
be careful to wash it off, because if you go into the sun with lemon juice on your face, you'll get burnt more easily because it makes your skin more sensitive to light due to its acidic qualities
also, keep in mind it's supposed to sting a little bit, but if you feel really uncomfortable, wash your face off with cold water immediately!
 
tried this last night, and my huge toxic pimple has already significantly gone down. 
wonderful! (lol)
 
if you add brown sugar to a lemon slice, and rub it on your skin. it doubles as an exfoliator!
(haven't tried this yet)
