I am one who loves a tall, cold glass of lemonade in the summer, but your skin and hair will appreciate these DIY at home beauty treatments with lemons even more and it'll shock you to find out how many beauty uses for lemons that there are out there! Here are some of the most crucial and useful for your every day beauty routines!
Lighten Your Hair:
The best beauty use for lemons is turning the juice into a natural hair lightener. No need to put chemicals in your hair! Before taking the afternoon to soak up some sun at the beach or lounging outside in your backyard, pour some lemon juice on your hair. You're sure to have sun kissed highlights in no time at all!
Lip Scrub:
Your lips may still be a little dry from the colder weather or maybe you can't find a good, natural non-greasy lip balm. Lemons are amazing for a home DIY lip exfoliator. So, try putting some lemon juice on your lips before you get some shut-eye. The next morning when you wash your face, the dead skin cells and dried skin will scale off, eww, but effective!
Skin Brightener:
These yellow super-fruits are also rich in vitamin C and citric acid. Using their juice can get rid of the shine on your face, it can also lighten and brighten up your skin with a sun-kissed glow.
Teeth Whitener:
Grab some baking soda and pour some lemon juice into a small bowl and mix them together. Take a Q-tip and apply the mixture onto your teeth. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes and then use your toothbrush to scrub your teeth.
DIY Deodorant:
Use a lemon! Yup, that’s right. If you are on the go, spent the night at a friends place or have just plain run out of your usually deodorant, lemons are the way to go. The citric acid in a lemon will actually kill odor-causing bacteria giving it the title as the perfect emergency deodorant.
Lemons to whiten teeth is not recommended by dentists. The acid can damage the enamel. Use baking soda instead.
