Yes it is! I know there are many different, natural home skin care recipes that include lemon juice, but to tell you the truth, lemon juice is way to acidic to apply directly to the skin. Lemon juice can not only disrupt the Ph mantle of your skin, but cause breakouts and wreak havoc on sensitive skin! The best way to add anything lemon to your skin care is through the skin and pith “white part” of the lemon. The lemon essential oil comes from the skin (rind), is loaded with vitamin C and is an antibacterial, etc. The pith is loaded with antioxidants, flavonoids, anti-inflammatories, etc.

Never put essential oils straight onto the skin. Always use some kind of carrier or carrier oil when using essential oils.

The other day someone said to me, “I don’t like French skincare”. When I asked, “why don’t you like French skincare?” They said they had never tried it and weren’t sure. This immediately gave me a flash back to when my kids were little and I was introducing a new vegetable into their world. They would usually start out by saying, “I don’t like that”, and I would say, “just try one bite, this tastes really good and you just might like it!”

Moral of the story?

Most people agree, a fresh, natural and botanical skin care routine is preferred over a rancid, chemical skin care routine. Just saying.

The French philosophy on beauty is simply to make looking great and aging well a part of your daily life…naturally!
