Lemon oil is a completely natural ingredient that serves as a home health remedy. It’s extracted from the peel of fresh lemons using a cold-pressing process that pricks the peel as oil is released from it.

A Dependable Skin Companion

Lemon oil can be diluted and applied to the skin. It helps to clear the skin, kills harmful bacteria and helps in reducing inflammation. In as much as lemon oil is good for the skin, it should not be directly applied to the skin because it makes you more sensitive to the sun. And so this oil should be used after sundown and at night time.

Lemon oil can also reduce acne and acne scars by getting rid of dead cells in the skin, lightly exfoliate and reduce the hyper-pigmentation from the acne.

Some people prefer to add lemon extract to their facial cleanser so if you are considering using this, you can add few drops of lemon oil to your own face washing routine and wash your hand very well before applying it.

Depending on the concentration it should be applied only once a day, just few times in a week.

So if you have been suffering from acne or you have been looking for a natural ingredient for glowing your skin, worry no more because this is for you! All you need is lemon oil.

Healthy breathing

Lemon oil have also proven to be a very a good inhalant to proper respiratory functioning e.g. breathing.
