Lemon as an Acne Treatment
I’ve tried this with a lime, and it doesn’t work quite the same way. But quite frankly, a lemon can have quite a few benefits. You really should squeeze your own, but you can also get real lemon juice from the grocery store. Lemons are high not only in the acidity most commonly associated with it, but also in antioxidants and the nutrients your body commonly needs. This can add up to some significant benefits.
Using lemon juice on the face can also provide glow to your skin and reduce acne. It has antibacterial power and it’s useful in cleaners, but it doesn’t have the irritants of other cleaners in general. Instead, it has all-natural ways of actually improving and strengthening your skin. This will help you to really get the good smell too instead of that chemical type smell with so many other acne fighters, and all around it’s a cheap and easy way to deal with it.
If you want to try using lemon juice as an acne spot treatment, apply it carefully to your breakouts with a cotton swab. Leave it on for around one minute, then rinse your face with lukewarm water. Repeat a few times each day, as needed, on a short-term basis until the pimples disappear completely.

How do you use the lemon juice? Do you put on for a few minutes and rinse off or leave on overnight?
