Lemons have astounding beauty usages. They are so effective and easy to use that you cannot avoid their inclusion into the list of your beauty essentials. Following are some of the most effective and famous beauty uses of lemons.
Nail strengthener
You get manicures done to make your nails healthy; however, the chemicals and the gels that are used in the manicure procedure damage your nails and make them weak. Not to worry, as there is something much more effective and easy to use nail strengthener – lemon. Just mix lemon juice with a cooking oil (olive oil works best) and soak your nails in the mix. This process will strengthen your nails considerably and will also fix the yellowness in your nails.
Exfoliates your lips
Winters leave your lips dry and chapped. You are tired of using numerous lip balms and creams, but the problem is just not going away. Now try applying lemon juice on your lips every night before going to bed. The very next morning you will see the dead skin cells and dried skin of your lips coming off. Repeat this procedure for a few days and the problem of chapped lips will go away.
Brightens your skin
Lemons are a very good source of citric acid and Vitamin C. You dab lemon juice over your face if you want to lighten up your skin tone, brighten up your skin and add radiance to it, and to lighten the scars on your face. It is also very effective in lifting up several signs of ageing from your skin. However, do not ever let the lemon juice on your skin in the sunlight and wear sunscreen lotion, as lemon juice makes your skin more sensitive to the UV rays.
Teeth whitener
Cosmetic teeth whitening is a procedure that is in too much demand these days, but it is extremely harmful for the quality of your teeth. The chemical cleansers make your teeth weak and brittle.

Apply this concoction onto your teeth and let it be there for about two minutes and then scrub your teeth with your toothbrush.
