6 DIY Beauty Treatments Using Lemons

Combine three tablespoons of olive oil with one tablespoon of lemon juice to create a mixture that will condition and make nails appear brighter. The acid from the lemon helps clear up any buildup on the nails, leaving them whiter. And the olive oil hydrates.

you can make your own blackhead busting version with just two ingredients: honey and, of course, lemons. Chill out for 15-30 minutes while your skin soaks up all the good stuff (antioxidants galore!).

Items
2 Tablespoons coconut oil
1 Tablespoon grated beeswax
1 Teaspoon honey
10-15 drops essential oil, my favorites are lemon and grapefruit

Instructions
Heat the coconut oil, beeswax, and honey over low heat in a small saucepan.
When the wax is fully dissolved, remove from heat. Place the saucepan over a small ice bath and whisk until the lip gloss is emulsified and set, (about 1 minute).
Add your choice of essential oil, and whisk to combine.
Transfer to a clean container and use within 6 months.

In a container large enough for your feet, combine about 10 cups of hot water, 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 a cup of salt, and 2 fresh squeezed lemons.
Soak your feet for about 15 minutes; then pat dry, and use a pumice stone to slough off any dead skin.

What you’ll need:
1/2 lemon juice
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

Instructions:
Whisk together all the liquid ingredients until the mixture has a thick consistency. Add sugar and mix with a spoon. You can add more or less sugar according on how thick you want your scrub to be.

A mixture of water, ginger root, lemon juice, and olive oil can help slow down cell turnover and decrease the amount of skin shedding from your scalp. Pour the treatment all over and let it dry before you shampoo it out.
