Why Lemon?

The lemon brightens, lightens, and clarifies the skin and aslo:

• Lemons are rich in vitamin C and citric acid, so they can help brighten and lighten your skin when used over time
• They help eliminate the over-production of oils.
• They are antibacterial and help to clear away acne, pimples and blackheads.
• Lemons have naturally exfoliating properties that remove dead skin cells and toxins.
• Lemons help reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
