2 DIY Lemon-Based Homemade Skincare Product Recipes

February is the month of love – and a clean, DIY beauty routine is a wonderful and easy way to extend that loving spirit into the world of self care. Lemons are an endlessly versatile fruit, and can be as helpful in a skincare routine as they can in the kitchen. At their core, lemons are a wonderful source of Vitamin C, which helps to promote collagen production and skin renewal.

Additionally, alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) are a key component of exfoliation, and can help to brighten the skin and lessen acne scarring, leaving the user with healthy, glowing skin. To that end, Limoneira spokesperson Megan Roosevelt, alongside guest vlogger and #OWNshow host Ami Desai, will be bringing her favorite DIY beauty methods to the Limoneira YouTube channel all month long.

For a helpful demonstration, you can watch Megan and Ami create the recipes below here on the Limoneira YouTube channel. Don’t forget to subscribe – videos with more wonderful recipes, tips and tricks not detailed in this release will be added to the channel each Friday throughout the month.
