Q. Is it true that lemon soap lightens the skin?

Answer

Since lemon is rich in vitamin C and citric acid, lemon soaps are great options for exfoliation of the dead skin cells. Lemon soap also behaves like salicylic acid in that it clears blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. However, despite its numerous benefits, there are certain things that one may need to be cautious about when using lemon soap. When choosing which lemon soap, one must check the other chemicals used in the soap. The effects of other chemicals may be more harmful to the skin than the benefits of using lemon soap. Lemon is full of citric acid so lemon soap should be used moderately.
