lemon juice probably isnt going to work..the most it will probably do is burn the hell out of it (if you have any cuts) and dry it out.


Try exfoliating you skin regularly, this will remove the dead skin cells. After time, the new skin will come through and you wont be as dark. Until then, use high spf sun screen to avoid further tanning.
Reply:well i don't know but i don't think that there are any risks but if u try it don't put lemon on your skin if its open or its bleeding %26gt;after a cut%26lt; but yeah try it
Reply:Ok use lemon juice to lighten up your skin, but only for 10 minutes a day, not more than that because your skin will turn red. I hope it works!!!
Reply:i dont think there's any risks bc its all natural but the only thing i heard about lemon juice is that ppl use it to even out their spray tans
Reply:i honestly don't think lemon juice can lighten your skin, because skin pigments are pretty deep within our skin, and bathing in lemon juice is just superficial.. and i don't think it'll penetrate your skin that deeply. Anyways, the only proven skin whitener is hydroquinone. I might have spelled that wrong. But hydroquinone is really bad for your health, and its getting banned soon by the FDA, I believe. For the time being, you can buy it at any drugstore. Dermatologists say its good for skin whitening but it may cause problems in your health. I wouldn't use it just because I think health is more important than white skin.
Reply:Honestly I have never heard of using lemon juice to lighten the skin. I have heard that lemon juice is good to use to lighten the hair if you want blonde highlights while sitting out in the sun.





You can prevent yourself from getting any more of a tan is to spend less time out in the sunlight. If that is not possible, use tons of sunscreen. Exfoliating the skin with an exfoliating scrub once a week is good for shedding off the older top layer of skin that is a little darker. And revealing smoother, newer skin from underneath.





Hope this helps!! :)
Reply:It'll dry up your skin. But a better solution would be a facial "toner." They try to balance out the skin by lightening it all over.
Reply:do not waste money in buying lemons for getting fairer complexion since it doesnt work at all. my sis used it for more than a month...all she saw was the softness, but no lightened skin.
