Benefits of Lemon
The natural acid in lemons helps remove dead cells and stimulate the process of skin regeneration, resulting in natural brightening of the skin. Vitamin C in lemons is a powerful antioxidant that helps minimize the appearance of dark spots and black spots on the skin.
Several studies have shown that the acid in lemon juice helps reduce scars on the skin. In addition, the essential oils in lemons also support essential vitamins to penetrate deeper into the epidermis, helping scars on the skin heal faster.

It is recommended to do this twice a week. With this lemon and tomato facial whitening method, the skin will appear visibly brighter.
Lemon and Potato
Take about 2-3 small potatoes, peel them, cook until tender, then mash them and mix with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. After thoroughly cleaning the face, use a warm towel to cover the face to allow the pores to open and easily absorb the necessary nutrients. After about 2-3 minutes, apply the prepared mixture evenly and relax for about 15-25 minutes before rinsing the face with cool water.
Note:
– Check for skin reactions: before applying lemon on the entire face, test it on a small area of skin to check for reactions.
– Lemon makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, use sunscreen to protect your skin when going outside.
– Avoid using lemon on damaged, scratched, or inflamed skin to avoid worsening irritation.
