keep reading!

So let's jump in!
1. You can use lemon as a toner, squeeze the juice from a lemon,
dip a cotton pad into it and swipe it over your oily areas,
you can sleep in this an rinse it in the morning, This is great if you have any facial scarring
as lemon helps to lighten uneven skin pigment and even out skin tone.
2. Lemon can be great for eliminating blackheads, cut a thin slice of lemon and rub it on the affected area, for me this is my nose.. this is good if you don't want to leave it on overnight, I'd suggest doing this after your face scrub when your pores are cleaned out and the lemon is able to penetrate deeper into your pores - don't use your scrub too hard first or putting lemon on will sting!
3. You could actually make a scrub using lemon! This is not just limited to your face, you can use it on your body also which would help with dark pigment on the armpits and elbows ...
do this before shaving or ouch!
(lemon juice on a freshly shaved area is enough to make you scream!)
Add sugar to lemon juice and you're ready to use it! I personally like brown sugar the best!
You can also add any kind of oil you like to this to add some moisture.
Just make sure it's not really watery, you want a thick paste consistency.
4. You could also use some of the lemon juice to knock yourself up a quick face mask,
Add a small amount of lemon juice and honey together, you don't want this to be watery so honey will be your main ingredient. you could also add other ingredients to this based on your skin concerns.. if you have oily skin then try a bit of kaolin clay, the lemon and honey alone is just great for brightening the skin.
5. And finally, after all the above skin care options then why not take care of your body from the inside? Take a slice or two of lemon and add it to some ice water then enjoy!
It gives the water a better taste and helps to detox your body at the same time!
Typically hot water and lemon is used for detoxing but as long as you are consuming the lemon juice then it will work the same, I like to eat the lemon afterwards also but it's not for everyone :')
So they were my tips of things you can do with a lemon!
if you distribute it evenly you could do all of the above with one
lemon, this means you could treat your skin, scrub it, tone it,
put a mask on it and detox it from the inside all for 30p!
(that's how much a lemon is in my supermarket aha)
