A member asked:
Why is lemon juice & sea salt good for your skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soothing: These are both mildly antinflammatory and help to make the skin surface mildly acidic which establishes a normal ph. There is some mild skin lightening from lemon juice. Be careful because some lemon and lime on the skin may cause phototoxicity and hyperpigmentation and you may get the opposite effect!
