Lemon is used extensively to enhance the taste of food. But it is also beneficial for the skin, as it is a very good source of Vitamin-C. However, lemon also contains citric acid, which can also damage the skin. Therefore, dermatologists and beauty experts advise to take some precautions before using lemon on the skin.

We have talked to beauty expert Poonam Chugh about how lemon should be used on the skin. Ms Poonam says, 'From lemon juice to lemon peel can be used to enhance the beauty of the skin.'

But if you are using only lemon juice, then you should not use more than 5 drops of lemon juice.
