lemon for acne - #19966

Parthiv

I am dealing with this stubborn acne that just won't go away, and I've read a lot about how using lemon for acne is supposed to help. Last summer, I started breaking out like crazy and even tried some over-the-counter stuff, but nothing worked! A friend told me lemon is great because of its acidity and vitamin C. I even tried mixing lemon juice with honey and applying it directly to my face, but I got this weird burning sensation, then I thought maybe I'm using it wrong? Has anyone else tried lemon for acne? I keep worrying that I might be allergic or something, but then I hear stories of people clearing their skin using lemon, like is it some miracle cure? I mean, is it safe really? I’ve also seen people say to dilute it with water first, but then I wonder if that lessens its acne-fighting power? Ugh, I don't know. Do you get better results from using lemon for acne directly or diluted? Feeling kinda lost, any advice would be super helpful!
