Lemons have gotten a bad rap over the years, especially due to sayings like ‘when life gives you lemons…’! Although tequila and lemons go hand in hand, a more sober way of dealing with lemons is by using them in your beauty routine. Antibacterial, antioxidant in nature and full of vitamins, lemons are frequently used in many of our skincare and hair products. Check out our favorites.
