Hi lybrate-user, Yes, lemon is good for skin, It has antibacterial, anti fungal properties, rich in vitamin c an powerful antioxidant. 1. Cut a lemon and rub on your face for 15 to 20 min then wash off with normal water, do it twice a week. I would recommend you cucumber and lemon for tanning with rose water. Cucumber and lemon, They have natural bleaching agents. And lemon is rich in vitamin c an good antioxidant and rose water has cooling properties. Use instruction: Take a tablespoon each of cucumber juice, lemon juice and rose water and mix in a bowl. Apply with cotton on tanned areas, wait for 10 minutes and wash off with cold water. Apply this pack every day. If you wants to know more or any medical treatment, contact me again.
