I love using natural products! They are so beneficial for many different things. I use this combination of lemon and raw honey for two very different things.
I use it as a beauty regimen as honey is known to cleanse your skin, tone, heal acne, remove blackheads, and this combination instantly seems to make my skin feel softer. I simply apply a layer of honey to the lemon and squeeze juice from the lemon and apply it to my face. I usually apply it before I get in the shower and wash it off in the shower. I can instantly tell a difference in the softness of my skin.
This can also be used as a moisturizer for your skin, just add some olive or coconut oil to the mixture and apply to your dry skin zones for about 10-15 minutes and rinse. If you have really dry skin, I would NOT recommend using lemon juice alone. As it could make your skin dryer than it already is.
Also I've read it you are using lemon juice for your skin and you must be in the sun, be sure to apply sunscreen as you could become more prone to sunburn.
I also use this lemon + honey combo for reducing my allergies. It is allergy season and raw honey is said to help w/ allergies if you take some everyday. However, it's best if the honey is made locally as the honey should be produced by bees in the same environment in which you live. By a process called immunotherapy, it's kind of like your vaccinating your body against the allergens. Kind of makes sense to me so I've been using it in hopes it will help rid my body of allergies. Can't hurt to try.
I'm no expert but I do know what works for me and I also like to try new things as well. Hope this helps someone.
