FAQ:
Is it safe to use lemon on sensitive skin?
Lemon can be irritating, especially for sensitive skin. Diluting it with Vaseline reduces irritation, but always do a patch test and avoid sun exposure immediately after application.
Can I use this mixture daily?
It’s best to use it 2–3 times a week to avoid over-exfoliating or drying out the skin.
Will this help with acne scars?
Regular use may help lighten dark spots and acne scars, but results take time and depend on skin type.
Can this mixture cause photosensitivity?
Yes, lemon juice can increase skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Always apply sunscreen after use and avoid direct sun exposure.
