Is it true that lemon juice lightens up your skin?

Question

I heard that in the movie "Blue Lagoon".

Or is that as false as the claim that lemon juice reddens your hair?

It doesn't lighten hair.

I have tried and it had no effect. (And I was assured that because I have got brown hair, I would get good results).

Later on, I read in a women's magazine that such recipe doesn't have any basis, and just damages your hair.

Yes it does work, It is a natural acid. If you mix lemon juice, water, and you favorite conditioner in a spray bottle, you dont have to worry about damaging your hair.... use an old hairspray bottle fill 1/4 way with an intense conditioner,I would use one for color treated or damaged hair, they are usually very good, then fill up to the 1/2 way mark with lemon juice and then fill up to the 3/4 mark with water. shake well, spray on hair and sit in the sun or go in a tanning bed, or even use your hairdryer!!! it wont change color immediately, it is a process over time. The longer you stay in the sun, tanning bed, under heat, the lighter it will get, also you can put a few tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide in the mix. I am a hairdresser, and I know the cost of highlights and color.

Answer 3

lemon juice claims to lighten skin; but the drawback is,
the drying effects is not good for the skin;
it won't redden the hair, but because it has bleaching effects on hair, the original dark color may seems to radiate that lighter or reddish glow.

Answer 4

some human beings say it does because of the acidity of it.. i does not recommend it however... in case you come across "papaya" in facial products, it rather is organic and has been shown to effectively whiten epidermis
