Lemon is a powerful natural ingredient widely used in beauty remedies for both skin and hair. Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and natural acids, lemon helps cleanse, brighten, and refresh from within. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties make it especially beneficial for treating acne, excess oil, dandruff, and scalp buildup. When used correctly and in diluted form, lemon can improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, control oiliness, and add a natural shine to dull hair. Simple, affordable, and easily available, lemon has been a trusted home remedy in traditional beauty routines for enhancing overall skin and hair health.
