LEMON for SKINCARE and more..

Lemon is just not for cooking or baking anymore,it has become a part of my skincare/beauty regimen..have you noticed that in restaurants when you ask for water most likely u'll see a lemon slice on top of it? I do the same thing..i'll have a pitcher of water with a couple slices inside my fridge and have that drink every morning..i'll even rub a slice of lemon on my face for removing blackheads,dark spots and best of all to lighten up my face..it can even be used as a deodorant.

1. Freshen bad breath. Gargle with lemon juice and water to kill odor-causing bacteria, or suck on the lemon wedge served with your water.
2. Soften skin. Combine lemon zest with sugar and soak the mixture with olive oil for 30 minutes for a homemade body scrub. Give a little extra TLC to dry patches on the elbows, ankles and knees.
3. Add sunny highlights. Want to lighten your tresses a notch or two? Mix lemon juice with your favorite conditioner and apply to damp locks before heading out to catch some rays.
4. Fix a streaky tan. To lighten a botched self-tanning job, rub a halved lemon over the area.
5. Whiten yellow nails. Soak fingers in lemon juice for five minutes. To prevent stains in the future, apply a clear protective base coat before nail polish.
6. Zap Zits. Try lemon juice on blackheads at night to clear up skin.
