lemon for face whitening - #21380

Meera

I am really confused about this whole lemon for face whitening thing. A few weeks ago, I started using lemon juice on my face, thinking it would lighten some dark spots I have from sun exposure. I know lemon is supposed to be good for whitening, right? Anyway, I've read online that it can really brighten up your skin, but I'm not sure if it's actually working or if I’m just imagining it. The first couple of days I felt like my skin looked a bit brighter, but now I'm also wondering if it’s making my skin dry? I don’t know...I was mixing lemon juice with some honey, but it still feels kinda sensitive. Is lemon for face whitening safe to use every day? I heard some people say it can cause irritation, and honestly, my face feels a bit tingly after using it. I really want to achieve that clear, bright look I've seen on social media, but I also don’t wanna end up damaging my skin. And those patchy areas...they still look kinda there. Does anyone out there have experience with lemon for face whitening, especially if you have sensitive skin? Do you think it really works long-term or am I wasting my time? Appreciate any advice!
