How to Store Lemons: Lemons can be left out at room temperature for a week. However, they will begin to dry out during this time. If you are not planning on using your lemons within a few days of purchase, store them in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
To keep your lemons away from damaging moisture, place them in a ziplock bag and squeeze out the air. When lemons are in an airtight plastic bag and placed in the refrigerator, they will remain fresh for up to a month.
Acne: Lemons contain hydroxy acid. This acid is commonly used in products designed to get rid of dead skin, unclog pores and eliminate acne and scarring. Instead of spending money on these expensive products, you can treat acne and acne scars using lemons. Juice a lemon and soak a cotton ball in the juice. Gently wipe the juice on your face and leave for several minutes before rinsing off.
Some people are sensitive to this technique, so you might want to test a small area before applying lemon juice to your whole face. If burning, peeling or irritation occurs, discontinue use. To make the juice a little less potent and potentially irritating, you can dilute it with water.
Lemon and Sea Salt Scrub: This scrub is perfect for softening the skin, getting rid of acne and scarring, and eliminating age spots. Sea salt and lemon are both antibacterial and work to cleanse and exfoliate. Using this scrub will give you brighter, softer and renewed skin.
