There are different ways in which lemon can be used as a home remedy
for pimples. Lime juice can be applied on facial skin as it is or it can
be mixed with other substances that are readily available at home.
Following are a few methods of using lemon for removing pimples.
• Concentrated lemon extract: Lemon juice can be directly applied on
the facial skin to remove pimples. However, you should be careful to
apply the juice only on the pimple because the strong bleaching element
might make the surrounding skin look whiter than usual if the juice
spreads out. It is best to use a cotton swab to apply the concentrated
lemon juice on the pimple. You should properly wash and clean your face,
possibly with a skin cleanser, before applying the juice. • Lemon and honey: The oil removing properties and exfoliation of lemon
are most effective in combination with some natural moisturizer.
Natural honey is a great moisturizer that can soothe the skin which
might become too dry due to the application of lemon juice.
•
Lemon with rosewater: Just like using the combination of lemon juice
with honey, a mixture of lemon juice and rosewater can be just perfect
in treating pimples. Rosewater is known for its anti-inflammatory and
astringent properties. It is also an excellent skin cleanser.
•
Lemon with egg white: Egg white can act as a great skin conditioner and
therefore is perfect in combination with lemon juice for treating
pimples.
