The Many Uses Of Lemons

Radiant Skin
Mix equal amounts of lemon juice and honey and apply on your face and neck. After 10 minutes rinse off with cold water. Lemon contains hydroxyl acid which is highly valued in beauty products.

Stop Itchy Skin With Lemon Juice
The compounds in lemon juice (fresh, not bottled!) has an anti-inflammatory and anesthetic effects on swollen patches of skin. Should you be short on store-bought solutions, soak up leftover lemon juice with a cotton ball and swipe over problem areas for relief from itch and inflammation

Seems an extravagant use of these items!  I use lemons at virtually every meal.  IMHO there are few foods that cannot benefit from the addition of lemon juice and/or hot sauce!

Lemon as Laundry Brightener
 Skip the bleach—add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the wash cycle will brighter up those fading whites.

You must be a Greek? I knew a Greek lady who put a squeeze of lemon
on every bite of meat she ate.

Oh look--what can't lemon do? Is there nothing that cannot be overcome through the power of Lemon?

I hear NASA is going to start launching them en masse into orbit, which is going to both solve climate change and concomitantly shield the Earth from Asteroid Showers.

Lemon slices do seem to help skin.  I wonder if orangequat juice would?

Clean your microwave
Is the inside of your microwave caked with bits of hardened food? You can give it a good cleaning without scratching the surface with harsh cleansers or using a lot of elbow grease. Just mix 3 tablespoons lemon juice into 1 1/2 cups water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 5-10 minutes, allowing the steam to condense on the inside walls and ceiling of the oven. Then just wipe away the softened food with a dishrag.

Is there anything you can do with a lemon that you can't do with a lime?

Cat repellant,stain remover,bleach, hair lightener,cockatoo projectile,meat tenderiser,sugar and salt balancer in cooking and they are good for practical jokes.Replace the victim of a practical jokes eye drop liquid with lemon juice and wait for the laughs.
