Do lemons lighten skin?
Lemons may not give you an even skin tone, especially if you have a lot of melanin in your skin, which it sounds like you do. The best way to even the skin of a darker person is GENTLE exfoliation using a mild glycolic acid (about 8-12 percent). Use it on skin twice a week for a month and be sure to use sunscreen with at least spf 15 every day. Any other exfoliation might be too harsh, resulting in DARKER patches, because when skin is damaged, the melanin (dark pigment) saturates the area that is damaged.

Reply:I think lemons only lighten hair. If you wanna lighten skin, there are some skin whitening lotion out there that you have to use more than once a day and before sun exposure.
Reply:Can I see your picture?? maybe I will tell you if you should lighten your skin or not. I think you are beautiful of what you are, and why you gotta change that?? Lemon is not going to do any good. If you want to lighten your skin, ask a doctor or contact Michael Jackson.
