It is not recommended to rub lemon on your face every day. Lemon juice is acidic and can irritate your skin, causing dryness, redness, and peeling. If you decide to try using lemon as a face treatment, start with once daily applications. You should also stop using lemon once you see improvements in your complexion. If you are going to be in the sun, it is best to avoid using lemon on your skin because it can increase your sensitivity to sunlight and cause sunburns.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- Patch test: Before using lemon on your entire face, do a patch test on a small area of skin to see how your skin reacts.
- Mix with other ingredients: You can mix lemon with other natural ingredients, such as honey, aloe vera, or sugar, to help reduce irritation.
- Avoid prolonged use: Do not use lemon on your face for extended periods, as this can lead to skin damage.
- Consult a dermatologist: If you have sensitive skin, it is best to consult with a dermatologist before using lemon on your face.
