Det är för många citroner!
Carl Johan recently brought about one thousand lemons home because I said I should have more fruits in my diet (as I have been ill again). I don’t know why he thought I would eat lemons. Does anyone actually eat lemons like they eat other fruits, i.e., take a big bite out of them and say “mmm, fruit!”? No big deal: he brought about one thousand of other fruits as well.
So, as I was trying to find a use for that many lemons besides lemonade, I came across several articles about making your own facial cleansers or using lemons for healthier skin.
It’s very simple: juice a lemon, soak a cotton pad with the juice, apply it to your face staying away from the eyes and you have a choice: leave it on for 20 minutes or leave it on as you sleep. It burns and itches for a moment but I have noticed a difference in my skin and so have others and it’s a lot cheaper and a lot simpler than anything else I’ve used.
Another great - yet sticky - thing to use is honey.
What are your home-made skincare regimés?
Please can you send me some of your home made lemonade?
Mate, come to Stockholm on your holiday and I will make you some lemonade.
MAYBE! But you will be ill anyways and cough disease all over me.
I will be healthy, I swear.
Ok see you next week!
No, have your holiday in warm weather. Stockholm is too cold for a holiday.
I haven't got my passport yet so it won't be any time soon.
Still? Get on it, mate.
I'm too lazy mate.
Lemon juice will dry your skin out, which is most likely terrible in frigid climates.
Lemonade is a great use for lemons! And they're good in tea. I like to eat them after a meal to clear my pallet.
I forgot to mention you must use mosturiser everyday. I thought it was a given. ;)
Stop being lazy.
Lemons can also lighten your skin!! And calm freckles.
oatmeal as a face mask is nice. just oats plus water. it's supposed to be soothing.
honey as a face mask is good too. it's supposed to be good for wounds as it kills bacteria..? i think i remember reading that.
you can use tomatoes the same way as lemon, it's a good astringent for oily skin.
while i was growing up my parents had this HUGE book, like a back to the earth hippie book and there was a chapter on home remedies and skin care.. i had it memorized for years!
Where have you been! :O
Oh my gods, I want that book. I need to turn myself into an almost hippie. Swedes are hippies.
i will find out the name of it, my mom still has it!
Cool. :D
the book is called "back to basics", it came out in 1981 and there's a third edition out now but according to at least one reviewer the first aid section is "dangerously out of date" and she suggests a different book entirely. i plan on going to my mom's this weekend and if she still has it i can look over the skin care home remedies and see if there's anything interesting!
