Beauty and the Lemon!

  


Though Beauty is more than skin deep...
It sure helps to have beautiful skin!

Before commercial beauty products stocked our bathroom shelves, our ancestors relied on natural and effective plants. The Egyptians, the Greeks, Romans, and the peoples of Asia enjoyed the benefits of the lemon long before its use in the Americas.

Lemon is prominent among nature's beauty ingredients. Use it alone, mixed with other plant ingredients, or just a little water to create safe and effective home beauty treatments.

Lemons, high in natural fruit acids, rejuvenate skin naturally. They are have the highest percentage of Vitamin C of all the fruits.

Use lemon juice in mixtures when you want to lighten, exfoliate and tone skin, and to invigorate your spirit. Lemons are reported to produce a: cooling, refreshing and uplifting feeling.

The holistic lemon also provides many health benefits.

Lemons lend themselves to a host of creative and useful formulas...

You can make your own formulas or indulge yourself with wonderful products crafted by professionals.

When mixing or creating a homemade formula consider possible allergies, sensitivities, or other reactions.

It is a good idea for you to determine if you have an allergy to ingredients such as eggs, oils, lemons, seeds, herbs, or any natural or manufactured product you may include in a formula.


Using Care:
Lemons are acidic and act as an astringent. (beneficial if correctly used)

Exercise caution when using lemons on skin exposed to the sun, the chemical makeup of lemons heightens photosensitivity and a burn may result. (of course, that is why they are great for stain removal)

In addition to lemons, this caution extends to perfumes containing ingredients such as lavender, lime, bergamot, sandalwood, and cedar oil.
