Ok , so I've been reading on the Internet , and a couple of books that lemon on the face is good for you. But it varies. I will get into that a bit. The Question Is

For those of the people who HAD TRIED lemon on a pimple or a few acne bumps , did your face burn , or cause a reaction?


The reason I'm asking this is because , well, I'm confused as hell-Excuse language- But I love lemons and I been putting lemons (Tiny pieces) and even made some mask for my baby pimples and they went away without a fuss. Also another Q


When using a lemon , does it depends on the person?

Welp thats about it.

I've never used lemon, but I would assume that everything depends on the person using it :) I'd love to hear the answers to your other questions though,...

It's never burned my face and it's supposed to help with brightening too for what I've heard BUT not everybodys skin reacts the same. If it works for you, I don't see the harm.

It burns my skin so bad. But make sure if you use it to layer up on sunscreen for a few days after, your skin is very vulnerable to sun damage afterwards.

Just waited to make sure. Because I see some people want to use Lemon but some other people don't want them to use because of the experiece THEY had. And everyones different. Since it is toxic , I wouldnt put TOO much. just a drop if your going to do it straight from the lemon.

If it burns your face, a better way to clear up your skin is to drink 12 oz of warm lemon water every morning and night. I've been drinking this everyday, 2 times, for a week and my skin looks ahmazinggg.

That's the thing not everyone is going to have a good or bad experience but the science behind it is strong that a lot of people get burns Kitty even gave a very big explanation about this yesterday.

Yes , I saw that. Thats what makes it so confusing. Is it because so many people skin is used to the chemicals in skin products or what?

My mom says not to use it even she's a nurse who's taking college classes for a chemist so I believe her

No it's the acid in the lemon it's bad it can harm the skin.

Lemon is a chemical.

It not the point of it burning it causes your skin to become photosensitive meaning it can be burned and have a cutaneous reaction to the sun which can lead to hyperpigmentation or worse actual burns from the sun reacting with the citric acid all I can say is that if you choose to use it and not use sunblock your taking a chance.

True , but its a natural chemical. So if lemon doesn't work for you leona what fruit do you use?

Yaaay I been waiting for you Traci -Does a little evil voice- Now I'm happy.


But does it depend on HOW much you use it though? I've never gotton any burns , and my skin is perfectly healthy.

Because learning about the citric to the face is hard. You got so many people saying Its bad for your skin.. But you have DOCTORS who say its ok for your skin. Soooo is it with all people Traci or its with certain people that will get the burns or have hyperpigmentation.

You should make sure you rise it off not leave it on your skin and use spf hun if you don't wanna use chemical spf I respect that but you can use a physical spf
