Lemon face wash?!?!

I read in a beauty care book that if you moisturise your face, then rub it with lemon juice and leave for 15- 20 minutes, it gets rid of freckles. Is this true, because it doesn’t seem very rational to me.

    If you want to make the redness of a pimple disappear or to dry it up, use a cotton tip and dab some straight lemon juice on it. Just only dab that on your pimple or on a scar. Lemon juice can brighten areas, so some people use it for fresh scars.Leave it for 10-15 mins and wash off. Do not this for your whole face at all! If you have sensitive skin, use at your own risk because it may burn.

    1) freckles r cute 2) the lemon will burn/irritate ur skin if its sensitive. 15-20 mis is way too long

    Lemon is a great astringent for oily skin. But only a little bit. It’s also good to combine with other natural ingredients as a scrub/mask. Google lemon beauty recipes and you’ll find heaps of homemade beauty masks, scrubs, toners, and cleansers to make.

    Freckles are cute anyway 🙂

    Not a good idea. I tried lemon juice on discoloured skin when I was a young teen and it was no help. It would dry and irritate skin so not something I would suggest trying. Like Melmeko suggests laser treatment is one of the main methods for removal, lightening freckles, birthmarks, skin discolouration etc.

    No it doesn’t work, and it stings heaps too, I wouldn’t try it, well its a big no no for my sensitive skin and it could cause a reaction, maybe it you diluted it then it would be safe to use on your skin, but I wouldn’t use it straight, but still won’t work with the lightening, the only option for that would be laser as no topical method would be effective 🙂

    I’ve heard lemon lightens hair and freckles etc. It may sting though and cause irritation.
