LIME JUICE FOR GLOWING SKIN
When you think of limes, you probably think of tropical drinks or lemon-lime soda. But this popular citrus fruit is actually very beneficial for your skin.
If you have any dark spots on your skin that you’d like to brighten, then invest in some limes and cotton balls. Simply take a bit of lime juice, dip a cotton ball in it, and apply it to the affected area for about a half an hour.
This same technique can help fade scars and pimple markings, thanks to its natural bleaching agent. And if you suffer from loose skin, then good news: it helps with that, too! Vitamin C, lime has in abundance, is a precorsor to collagen and it also protects against oxydative stress, one of the main reasons we age prematurally!
Consider using lime peel as a scrub, too. There are plenty of easy, at-home recipes that call for just a few easy to find ingredients, plus lime peel, which will save you from applying chemicals found in commercially made face scrubs. Natural skincare, for the win!
In addition to all the above, lime juice is also full of antibiotic properties that help inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
You don’t have to put lime juice directly onto the skin to reap its benefits, though. Your skin can still get a glow from it by drinking the following concoction
LIME JUICE FOR GLOWING SKIN
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 8oz of lukewarm water
Mix all the ingredient together and drink every morning. The Vitamin C in Lime will help flash out toxins from your body and the natural bleaching properties of lime and honey will help give your skin an overall glow.
