    im glad that u ask that but the results aren't instantaneous. lemon is a great citric that u can use for many stuff but it's not a magical thing.. maybe within 2 weeks or more u can see good results (depending how many times at day u apply lemon on ur skin)

    so do you like the lemon juice on your skin or do you have to rinse it off?

    Do you use only the lemon juice? or you just rub the lemon on you face.
    How long do you leave it on? 30 minutes or more.
    If you are using lemon juice, do you wash it off?

    sometimes when i'm lazy i just rub the limon on my face and i usually leave it on like 5 or 10 min but i always wash my face because if i leave it on my face more than 10 min my skin will start to itch. if ur skin is sensitive don't use lemon

    i think most people use lemon to lighten the hair so it seems logical that it would lighten skin aswell
    it's also great to drink lemon juice as it helps to clean your liver

    don't use lemon on your skin .. especially your face .. the strong citric can damage the chem balance and leave scarring easily as it become a lot more sensitive and fragile.

    I've heard of avocados, honey, and sugar as a exfoliant. But, lemon as a skin bleacher and conditioner is a first. Must try and see how it is.

    well i've heard of soaking nails in lemon juice.
    but if it's a bleacher, wouldn't the tips of your fingers whiten when you soak your hands?

    Really?? I really got to try this in the summer then; I tend to get dark in the summer.. I heard that Vitamin C is good at combating 'tanning', so maybe that's why?

    heard prolonged skin bleaching will leave your complexion blotchy and uneven...

    why not just tan more and use the free sun rather than buying LOTS of lemons? :p
