SFS Contest Week 3 | Skincare Ingredient [Lemon]

The claims that lemon is an effective skin and hair care ingredient are well-founded. Because it has so many benefits of lemon for our skin and hair care many people use it daily beautification routine. I'd like to explain why lemon is a much-loved and revered ingredient:

For skin:

Natural complexion Lightener: Lemon has a high vitamin C concentration, and may help fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots while enhancing the skin's natural radiance.

Exfoliation: Lemons' citric acid is a mild exfoliator that helps remove dull, dead skin cells and reveal a more radiant complexion.

Eliminating Acne: Because of its antibacterial characteristics, lemon is a great tool for fighting acne.

Balances Oil Production: Lemon is great for oily or mixed skin types since it controls sebum production.

For Hair Care:

Healthy Scalps: Lemon, being acidic, aids in keeping the scalp's pH balanced, which in turn keeps the scalp healthy and dandruff-free.

Hair Density: The vitamin C in lemons helps the body make collagen, which in turn makes the hair follicles stronger and healthier, which in turn reduces hair loss.

Natural shiner: If your hair is looking lifeless, try rinsing it with lemon juice for a natural shine boost.

To be cautious, however, since lemon is a powerful herb. You can feel some pain if you apply it directly to sensitive skin or an inflamed scalp.

The use of natural substances in skin care products may be greatly enhanced by creating a basic lemon scrub. Exfoliate our skin with this lemon scrub and feel revitalized afterward. Following these instructions will give you a DIY lemon scrub:

Ingredients:

🔹1 tablespoon of sugar,
🔹1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
🔹1 teaspoon of honey or soothing gel for extra moisturizing (Optional)

Everything You Need:

First, take 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon and squeeze the fresh lemon juice into a small bowl.

Mixing:

Then mix 1 tablespoon of honey or any soothing gel for extra moisturizer. I added soothing gel because I have an allergic problem with honey. It’s optional. You can skip honey or soothing gel. Make sure to mix the ingredients well until a uniform, gritty mixture is formed.

It’s time to apply and exfoliate:

Get your face clean first. To prepare your skin for exfoliation, gently dampen it with warm water. To make the lemon scrub, just use a little bit on your hands. Using light, circular strokes, scrape the scrub all over your face. Leave the sensitive skin around your eyes alone and concentrate on regions that tend to be dry or have uneven texture.

Then Leave it on for a moment. Thoroughly wash your face with lukewarm water. After using the scrub, make sure you wash it off completely. To prevent further loss of moisture, pat your skin dry and then apply your preferred moisturizer.
