Warnings :
Direct exposure to the sun with lemon!
Although lemon is a very effective beauty treatment if used properly, we recommend that it be applied in the evening and not during the day because of its photosensitization. Indeed, the lemon reacts with the sun, and if you apply lemon directly on your face during the day, spots may appear on your skin and do the opposite effect of the expected result.
