Can i use calamansi instead of lemon?

I heard lemon juice is good for healing acne scars, I have some lemon juice how do I use it on my skin?

  • Had an acne promblem last year and used tablet treatment to get rid of the acne. I know have acne marks and found out about how lemon juice helps. But I never found out how to use it - am I meant to rum into my skin, or put it on and leave it there? Or anything else? Thanks everyone :)

  • Answer:

    Best thing is get to a laser center that specializes in acne scar removal. Lemon juice will bleach your skin color. good luck to you

well first tabel treatment is horrible for the skin no matter what the doctors tell you. Lemon juice does help, put a small amount on a cotton ball and just tap it on your scars..thats AFTER you wash your face every morning and every night.

The acid from lemon juice could burn your skin, try Vitamin E oil, you can find it at any drug store or Wal Mart, it helps heal and fade scars, it works really well! i get boil like pimples and they scar really bad, but you can't see any of them and Vitamin E is what i use. Good luck!

Don't put lemon juice anywhere near your skin. For God's Sake! STOP IT NOW!!!!

NONONO makes it worse. My mum told me all about this. Just makes your face sore for a long time. DONT DO IT. Its an urban myth. Im sure your doctor can perscribe you something for the scars. They go away eventually (most of them).

What you do is you put it on a cotton ball and then rub on your skin and let is sit for a minute or two then wash your face off. This remedy has only been able to work on a few people so it may not work for you.

Lemon juice, as with all citrus contains enzymes and complex acids that have been known to brighten the skin and provide excellent and essential vitamins and minerals needed for healthy glowing skin, however, they can also be very harsh and drying to your skin. I would suggest that you use the juice from a lemon wedge as a toner after you wash your face. just cut a lemon into 4's (about the size that comes in a drink at a restaurant) and squeeze the juice of one of them onto a cotton ball and swipe it onto your face and let dry. Be careful though, if you are using any acne medications topically. Like I said it can be drying. Alba botanical makes a fantastic cleanser made from pineapple, orange and lemon juices that cleans well and smells great. Plus, it has added moisturizers so it is not to harsh on the skin. It is available at Target and Whole Foods. I did the lemon juice toner until I went on a Retin-A treatment and my skin became very dry. Hope this helps!
