Lemon Magic For Beauty 1

Let's face it, most beauty products are expensive. Even with coupons (at least for a beginner couponer like me), it is still a little pricey.  What I want to do is stretch up my dollar as much as I can that way I can save more...yes "I" because Hubz is giving me however much I saved as a reward! Now you see why I really want to save! It feels good to eat out and pay our meal from "my" money :))

Here's the lemon way for beauty:

1. Age spots - lemon is acidic enough to safely peel off the upper layer skin and will remove or lighten age spots. Rub lemon juice on the age spots with a cotton ball twice daily, and in 6-8 weeks, they should begin to fade away. 
2. Blackhead remedy - rub lemon juice over blackheads. Wait until morning to wash if off with cool water. repeat procedure several evenings in a row and you'll see a big improvement in your skin. 
3. Callus remover - put a thin sliced lemon directly on the calloused area and secure it with a band-aid. Leave lemon on overnight. Lemon works to soften the callus because it is weak acid and helps break down the thickened dead skin that forms callus.
4. Dandruff Relief - use lemon as a natural scalp restorative. Squeeze the juice of one lemon and apply half to your hair. Mix the other half with two cups of water. wash your hair with a mild shampoo, then rinse with water. Rinse again with lemon and water mixture. Repeat every other day until dandruff disappears.
5. Fighting facial blemishes - lemon works as all-natural acne fighter. Apply lemon juice to the skin with a cotton pad by lightly dabbing the affected area a few times a day until blemish disappears. The acidity of the lemon will help your skin to rid itself of pimples and other blemishes that mar the surface!
6. Facial cleanser - boil 1 quart  water in a pot and put it in a table or in the kitchen  or bathroom sink. add the juice or peel of half a lemon and a handful or herbs -rosemary, basil, thyme, mint, whatever. Then cover you hair with a shower cap and drape your head and the pot while keeping your face above 12 inches from the water. Close your eyes and let you face steam for 15 minutes. rinse with clear water to close your pores. (Note: Don't use this method more than once a week or you may deplete your skin of too many natural oils.)
7. Hair conditioner - combine 3/4 cup olive oil (regular cooking oil will do), 1/2 cup honey and lemon juice, and set aside. rinse your hair with water and towel-dry. work in a small amount of conditioner (store what's left over in the fridge) and comb through to distribute the mixture evenly. then cover with a plastic bag for 1/2 hour. follow up by shampooing and rinsing thoroughly.
