I envy people with skin that thrives on water and nothing else!!!! You are sooo lucky and I dont like you haha. Unfortunately I am not one of them. I have oily skin that is prone to blemishes and I need all the help that I can get. For the past two weeks, I have been using lemon juice as a toner at night. And let me tell you, it has worked wonders for my skin.
Well how did I come about using lemon juice on my face??? Well that's a long story. My boyfriend introduced me to this brand a while back called Garnier Light. I used the whole range and absolutely adores it, especially their moisturizer. Their moisturizer is so light and it easily absorbed into my skin plus I can use it in the morning as it does not make my skin shine like a beacon. And the bonus is that Garnier Light products are cheap as chips. For me putting on moisturizer is always a tricky business. Oily skin really do restrict what I can use. No such problem with Garnier Light. But ohhh I cannot get these products where I am living now. This brand does not exist here. So I was begging my boyfriend to send me some but he is taking his sweet time as usual. So out of desperation, I checked out what makes Garnier Light soooo special. Lemon essence. Hmmm and a light bulb in my head started to flicker. I wonder if you could use lemon directly on the face. And this is where I really appreciate modern technology. I google it. Wah la all my questions are answered and so start my love affair with the humble lemon.
