Lemon
Like all
citrus fruits, lemons are a good source of vitamin C which enhances the
beauty of
your skin and has a lot to give both to health and beauty. They are also
good for cleansing your digestive
system.
The various benefits of lemons are listed below:
- Squeeze
some lemon juice into warm water and drink it. It helps by cleansing your
body of toxins.
- Cellulite
can also benefit from lemons. First of all, start each day with a drink of
hot water and squeezed lemons. Water retention is also banished this way.
Then use a lemon based cellulite oil to rub onto the affected areas.
- Lemons can
be rubbed directly onto skin and left for about 2 hours before rinsing.
This is good to reduce wrinkles and treat blemishes. The treatment will
work better if followed by olive oil after rinsing. It works by speeding
up skin renewal and uncovering a fresh new layer of skin. However, it is
important not to do this before going out in the sun as it will have a
bleaching effect.
- Another beauty treatment that can be done with lemons is a hair tonic. Massage some lemon juice onto hair and leave it for a while before rinsing. Again, do not do this before going in the sun. This treatment is especially good for greasy hair as it will regulate the sebaceous glands which produce oil and make the hair shine and prevent dandruff.
