They contain natural acids that work as a natural exfoliant, which helps to remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter, more youthful-looking skin. According to Healthline, , the vitamin C found in lemons is a powerful antioxidant that can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Honey has natural antibacterial properties and can help to soothe the skin, making it a perfect complement to the brightening properties of the lemon juice.

Apply the mixture to your face and gently massage it into your skin using circular motions. Rinse off with warm water after a few minutes. The sugar helps to exfoliate the skin while the lemon juice brightens and evens out the skin tone.
Lemon Juice and Yogurt Face Mask

Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Yogurt contains lactic acid, which can help to gently exfoliate the skin and improve its texture.
Lemon Juice and Aloe Vera Gel

It's best to start with a small amount of lemon juice and test it on a small patch of skin before applying it to your entire face. Additionally, it's important to avoid using lemon juice on any open wounds or cuts, as it can cause stinging or burning sensations
