10 Best homemade lemon face packs to try for clear skin
Check out our list of the 10 best homemade lemon face packs for clear skin
Talk of multifunctional fruits, lemon cannot escape the list. From a glass of iced lemonade on a hot afternoon to a delicious lemon cake after a filling meal, we love it all, don't we? While we already know that lemon makes our tummy happy, did you know that incorporating lemons into our skincare routine can make our skin happy too?
Laden with Vitamin C, lemon is a godsend when it comes to maintaining a healthy skincare routine. I have curated a list of face packs with one constant ingredient and other variables.
Benefits of lemon juice and peel for skin
Before diving right in, let us look at the benefits of including lemon in your skincare routine.
a) Vitamin C: Vitamin C slows down aging and protects skin from free radical damage resulting in smooth, glowy skin.
b) Citric Acid: It is a natural astringent, a type of alpha hydroxy acid( AHA). By now, the beauty world is used to hearing terms like AHA and BHA. These are some great exfoliants and can help you get rid of those blackheads, and also unclog pores.
c) Boosts collagen production: Collagen is a protein naturally present in our skin. With age, the production of this protein drastically falls, causing fine lines and wrinkles. As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps to boost collagen production, which stops the signs of wrinkles.
