Fresh Lemon Juice

The lemon tree (Citrus limonum) is a small, evergreen plant belonging to the Rutaceae family. Extracted from the rind and pulp of its yellow fruits, lemon oil and juice have antibacterial properties on the skin, cleansing and brightening when applied topically.

With large amounts of vitamin C found in lemons, the juice is packed full of antibiotic and antioxidant properties, helping to keep the skin firm and protected. On hair, it gives a glossy shine as the astringent properties of the fruit cause hair follicles to lay flat and better reflect the light.
