lemon on face side effects - #12835

Aasha

I am kinda freaking out here! Last week, I read somewhere about using lemon on face for brightening skin and thought I’d give it a shot, you know? I squeezed some fresh lemon on a cotton ball and applied it directly to my face. The first time, I felt this super tingling sensation, but I thought it was normal since people online were raving about the benefits. But now, few days later, my skin feels all dry and kinda irritated. I’m not sure if I overdid it or if this whole lemon on face thing is not as great as people claim. I've noticed some redness, especially around my cheeks, and I’m worried about lemon on face side effects that I might not have considered. Like, is it possible to have a reaction just from one application? I didn’t even do a patch test! Ugh! I've heard it's good for acne too, but now I'm starting to regret trying the whole lemon thing. Should I stop using lemon on face altogether? Or is there hope for my skin? Anyone experience similar side effects? I just really need some advice here, please!
