Skin Benefits Of Lime

Citrus fruits have numerous beneficial effects on the skin and lime is no exception. Lime juice, benefits your skin in more ways than one, because
it is rich in antioxidants like Vitamin C, flavonoids and Citric acid. These are some of the benefits:
1. Takes Care Of Acne:
The antibiotic properties of lime juice inhibit the growth of acne causing bacteria.
2. Controls Excess Facial Oil:
The astringent properties of lime juice helps control excess oil by tightening the pores and reducing oil production
3. Eliminates Dark Spots:
Lime juice can be used to lighten dark spots due to its skin lightening properties.
Apply to the darkened portions of your skin and leave for about 20 minutes.  
4. Removes Dead Skin Cells:
The citric acid present in lime peels can slough off dead skin cells. They are often used in beauty treatments in spas as well as home remedies to improve the appearance of facial skin.

Note that lime juice can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So take adequate steps to protect your skin from sunlight when you apply it
