Lemons and your skin?!


Question: Lemons and your skin!?
I heard that applying real lemon juice to your skin is beneficial, like if you have blackheads or something it will clear them up!. Als make your skin tone even out is this true!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No -- not pure, undiluted lemon juice!. It is too acidic, and other people on here have asked questions about how to reduce redness/irritation/burning after they applied lemon juice to their skin!. This is one of those "home remedies" that does far more harm than good!. Lemon juice is not an ingredient in any skin-care product for acne!. If it worked to fight acne, it would be in some of these products!.

Not all acids are good for the skin -- only beta hydroxy (salicylic) acid, glycolic acid, and sometimes lactic acid are effective in exfoliating the skin, and then these are used in very specific percentages!. TCA is an acid used in peels in dermatologist offices, but only by trained professionals in very specific percentages!. Lemon juice will just burn and irritate the skin while not providing any benefit for acne!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
