Know The Benefits Of Lemon Peel On Skin And Hair

Lemon peel aids in both the prevention and treatment of facial issues like wrinkles, acne, pigmentation and dark spots and is also a great source of antioxidants, which help in skin detoxification.

New Delhi: Lemon peel has many advantages for skin and hair as it is high in vitamin C. It aids in both the prevention and treatment of facial issues like wrinkles, acne, pigmentation and dark spots. These are also a wonderful source of antioxidants, which help in skin detoxification. Citric acid, which is present in lemon rind helps exfoliate away dead skin cells and can enhance skin rejuvenation. 

Listed below are some of the benefits of lemon peel on skin and hair:

Benefits Of Lemon Peel On Skin:

1. Treats hyperpigmentation and lightens skin tone:

Since the lemon peel contains more antioxidants than the lemon itself, it can also be used to cure skin hyperpigmentation. Lemonas are rich in citric acid, a type of AHA with naturally skin-whitening properties. Since lemon juice acts as a natural bleaching agent, it is much better than other available commercial skin-lightening products.

In addition to erasing stubborn age spots and uneven, lifeless skin, lemon juice also helps lighten any dark facial hair. You could also apply lemon juice to your skin after diluting it with water or use face creams and serums with this amazing ingredient to achieving the intended results.

2. Can be used as an exfoliator:

Lemon peel is a fantastic exfoliator because it removes dirt and dust from the face while also aiding in skin cleansing. You can quickly remove dead skin cells from your body by using lemon peel, which also leaves your skin soft and smooth.

3. Used to treat rashes and fungal infections:

One of the many benefits lemons have for the skin is their capacity to treat a variety of fungal rashes, including head rashes that might indicate seborrheic dermatitis. It also has antibacterial properties and can ease the pain of sunburns and bee bites.

According to recent research, the lemon essential oil may be effective in fending off harmful pathogens like E. Coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, it works well to repair superficial cuts and wounds.

Strong antifungal properties found in lemon essential oil may be used to address some skin conditions. A recent review of medical research found that topically applying lemon juice to treat conditions like athlete's foot, thrush, and yeast infections is quite successful.

Benefits Of Lemon Peel On Hair:

1. Treats dandruff and itchy scalp:

Treating your hair and scalp with lemon ensures healthy, non-oily hair and thus, renders them dandruff free. The anti-fungal and cleansing properties of lemon help to control oil production and thereby maintain scalp health. Once this is done, treat your hair with an anti-dandruff shampoo. 

2. Increases the rate of hair growth:

Lemon peel powders are a good source of vitamin C, which accelerates the synthesis of collagen and speeds up the growth of your hair. The acidity in lemon aids in tightening hair shafts, which reduces hair loss. Additionally, it also helps in scalp cleaning and hair root unclogging.

3. Prevents premature greying:

Lack of pigment causes premature greying of the hair, which can be brought on by stress, sun damage, pollution, vitamin B3 insufficiency, and other factors. Lemons support colour pigmentation and preserve your hair's original colour. Coconut oil and lemon juice can be combined to prevent early greying.
