What it does: Lightens freckles and mild pigmentation over time.
How to do it: Cut the lemon or lime into slices, and rub a slice directly onto the affected skin. You can also squeeze the juice first if you prefer. Dab juice straight onto freckles or dark blemishes. (But whatever way, remember to use fresh! This is all-natural and will not stay effective for long.) Leave on skin until dry. Wash off with water.
Why it helps: Lemon and limes have high acidic contents. It is this acid that exfoliates the top layer of skin, increases cell turnover, and over time helps to fade pigmentation and freckles.

    ya, you are correct but dont you think that more acids present in lemon are sometimes not tolerable by many ppl and they may even make the skin worse..

    i think lemon should not be used directly…….always use a base to dilute it like water/ honey/ besan/ curd etc…this way it work the best without hurting your skin. One can also mix lemon juice in oil to have a massage………… :) i hope it will help others who are confused .
