What you need:
– Half a lemon’s juice
– 1/4 cup of warm water (to lessen the acidity of the lemon juice and prevent the hair from becoming too dry)
Instructions:
– In a spray bottle, combine the warm water and lemon juice.
– To apply, just spray the solution over the hair you want to lighten.
– To activate the lemon juice, place it in the sun for 20 to 30 minutes. Sunscreen is an absolute necessity for skin protection.
– To prevent further dryness, rinse your hair well and then condition it with a deep conditioner.

3. A mild exfoliant for the lips
You may exfoliate your lips gently with a sugar scrub instead of using toothpaste, which might irritate some people.
What you need:
– A mild exfoliant—one tablespoon of fine sugar
-(to hydrate) 1 teaspoon of either coconut oil or olive oil
– To brighten black lips, you may optionally add a few drops of lemon juice.
Instructions:
– Method of application: Apply the mixture to your lips by gently massaging it in circular movements.
– Rinse: Use lukewarm water to wash.
– Apply your preferred lip balm afterward to further hydrate.
Take note of your skin’s reaction while trying out home cures, particularly ones containing acidic substances like lemon; if it becomes painful or irritated, discontinue use. It is also wise to think about doing a patch test before putting new combinations on sensitive regions.
