Lemons are natural cleansers and toners. So, it’s little wonder that lemon body care products are so plentiful. They can to everything from banishing oily skin to brightening your hair. They are affordable and plentiful.
With all that said, let’s take a look at some body care products that contain lemon and offer all its benefits.
Hair Gel
This is particularly useful for people who experience frizzy hair on a regular basis. This is a quick fix on your way out the door. And it’s simple. In a bit of water, throw in some lemon juice and a pack of gelatin. It’s that easy. Really!
- Two tablespoons lemon juice
- One cup water
- One packet of gelatin (you’ll need about 1 tablespoon)
- You’ll be heating this in a saucepan until gelatin dissolves, then let it cool for usage. Add 4 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and 1 to 2 teaspoons of coconut oil after cooling for the conditioning version.
Face Mask
Sure, you could travel all the way across town to the nearest spa and pay exorbitant amounts for their face mask. Or, you can make your own much cheaper and quicker. Here’s how: lemons and honey. That’s it! For about 15 to 30 minutes, let the mixture chill out on your face. All the good stuff (antioxidants) will be soaked up by your skin.

- Half of one organic lemon
Foot Soak
Are you on your feet all day? Could you use a rejuvenating and refreshing foot soak at the end of the day while you unwind? Here’s what to do: get a shallow bowl and dump in half a cup of Epson salt, lemon and rosemary infused water, soak, and relax. You know you deserve it!
