Squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon into a glass bowl. Take a cotton ball and soak it in the lemon juice…then apply it liberally to your elbows or knees. Leave the juice on for 20-30-minutes… then rinse off with warm water. Make sure you apply an emollient cream or moisturizer to the areas afterwards. You may need to repeat this procedure for a few days before you see results.
As always, before trying out a new product or remedy, you might want to spot test your skin for potential sensitivity. A good way to do this is to apply a little bit of the lemon juice to your skin, then cover with a band-aid to intensify the absorption and leave on overnight. Remove the band-aid the next morning and check for signs of irritation. If you haven’t had an allergic reaction or increased sensitivity to the area, you are good to go!
