if putting lemon and sugar on your face was therapeutic and effective for skin problems everyone would be doing it. lemons have high acid content and bacteria (one of the underlying causes of acne) is not found of acid but i have never read a study that supports this method. acne is caused by hormones and you really can't scrub hormones away. washing your face is fine for the oil but acne is not caused by dirty skin. i am assuming that acne is your issue rather than put fruit all over your face as well as sticky sugar my suggestion would be for you to see your medical provider or a dermatologist for some expert advice. there are so many excellent acne medications available to you. and they are proven to be more effective than any home remedy.
if you dip half of a lemon in sugar and put it on your face is that bad for your skin? . my sister and i are having a debate on wether or not sugar and lemon are good for your skin. if you dip half a lemon in sugar and use it as a scrub on your face will that cause any bad reactions? i know that you are not suppose to go out in direct sunlight after doing this but what else can it cause? i'm using this scrub and nothing happens but she says its not safe?
