I just started curing itchy pimples on my face with lemon and now my face is drying. is it normal? when will i stop it?

Citric acid: Lemon juice contains about 5-6% citric acid. You may want to consider a non-comedogenic moisturizer to minimize the dryness or dilute the lemon juice.

Better Rx: There are much better ways to deal with acne than using lemon. If topical benzoyl peroxide as a preventative has not worked, your physician can give you something to add that's stronger.
