Most lemons are Eurekas or Lisbons. Eurekas
have somewhat thicker rinds, but regardless of variety, look for a lemon that
feels heavy in the hand and which, gently squeezed, gives nicely and doesn’t
seem to have a thick, hard rind (less juice inside). Lemons turn from green to
yellow because of temperature changes, not ripeness, so green patches are OK,
but avoid those with brown spots, which indicate rot.
Our relationship with lemons has moved from
the kitchen to the bathroom, as we incorporate the citrus fruit into our beauty
regimen. Lemons are a great source of calcium, vitamin C, magnesium and
potassium — minerals and antioxidants that improve the appearance and condition
of our hair, skin and nails. So we present nine awesome uses for lemons you
should know. Tip: Keep in mind that lemon juice should not be left on the body
for extended periods of time and may have severe reactions when exposed to the
sun. Always consult with your doctor if you have any concerns.
What follows are some great tips about
lemons.
They brighten your hair color. The cheapest
highlights you’ll ever pay for involve making a trip to the grocery store to
buy lemons. Combine lemon juice and hair conditioner, comb through strands, sit
in the sun for a few hours and wash out. Repeat these steps at least once a
week, and you will notice that your hair is significantly lighter.
They get rid of oily skin. We’ve tested out
some pretty weird ways to bring down the shine on our faces, including
laxatives. But swiping a cotton swab with a little lemon juice is just as
effective. Try doing this before bed and washing your face the next morning to
prevent oily skin.
They strengthen nails. There are tons of nail
hardeners on the shelves at your local drugstore, but you can get the same
results — and naturally — using olive oil and lemon juice. The solution will
not only condition weak and brittle nails, but it will also whiten yellowing
nails.
For more juice with less effort, first
microwave them for 15 to 20 seconds and you'll almost double the amount of
juice you'll receive from them.
Create a paste of salt and lemon juice, and
use it to deep clean and brighten your wooden cutting board. Scrape away the
residue and rinse.
