Why you should be loving lemons!

Hey Beauties! Today I wanted to talk to y'all about a lil super fruit that I have been loving lately - Lemons! Yes, lemons! And no I'm not talking about lemon pie or lemon cookies I mean raw lemons. Lemons are most known for there strong antiviral, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Egyptian's even believed That drinking lemon juice could make you immune to some poisons. Though lemons have 100s of benefits I've decided to list a few that I find most helpful.

1. Lemons can abolish acne.
Lemons, like oranges, are jam packed with vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for getting you that healthy, glowing skin you're after. Vitamin C also contains alkaline which can naturally kill those nasty bacteria that cause acne.

2. Lemons have a calming affect.
This powerful fruit can aid in removing fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, anxiety, nervousness, and tension. Lemons are also proven to wake you up as well as your morning cup of joe!

3. Remove scars.
Lemons mixed with cucumbers can help lift those unsightly scars. Be it from acne or a bike accident, scars can be embarrassing. Mix lemon and cucumbers in a food processors and slather the area in the mixture. Wait 15-20 mins. and wash away. Repeat 3-4 times a week.



So whether you are rubbing it on your skin or drinking it, I suggest you find some way to have a lemon a day. What I do is in the morning instead of coffee, make a steaming cup of water and squeeze 1 small lemon into the cup. It will wake you right up and fight that morning breath :)
