It's also an essential ingredient in lots of sweet desserts, and adds a zing to cocktails and soft drinks alike. <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tn7VpHom2Jk/TV-PNRD2YgI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/SjfPlVGTUjI/s1600/limon---z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> But there's a lot more to the humble lemon than that: the  adaptable  citric has a number of cosmetic uses and is widely used in  perfumery  and aromatherapy, as well as having energising and  revitalising  properties. Even that's not the end of the story. Here are a few ways  you can use this sour citric in your own beauty routines: <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tD-bI0J2drE/TV-QJ6Fv6VI/AAAAAAAAA9c/dGhaRqOyHP0/s1600/3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cleopatra may have bathed in asses' milk, but she probably  used lemons when she washed her hair. The Egyptians mixed water and  lemon juice as a hair treatment as the citric acid helps break down and  eliminate sebaceous fat. So if you suffer with greasy hair you could try  incorporating lemon juice in the rinse water. In the summer, natural blondes  can try mixing the juice of a  lemon with a quart of water and using it  as a hair rinse or spritz for  sun-lightened streaks. <img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M85ZhB9jm6U/TV-QdIJ9T1I/AAAAAAAAA9k/llyFRyLNk0Y/s1600/2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> If you live in a hard-water area, over time, the lime deposit  on the hair cuticle deadens the hair's natural shine. Try using a  special deep-cleansing shampoo every couple of weeks to eliminate the  build-up, and add a few drops of lemon to the final rinse. You should  soon find the lustre restored to your locks. Vinegar will also work, but  doesn't smell quite as good!      Rough and dull skin on elbows, knees and heels can also be   tackled with lemon juice – just cut a lemon in half and rub the cut   surface over the affected area. The citric acid acts as a  natural  exfoliant and also helps to lighten the discoloured skin.  Apply a  moisturising cream afterwards and you should notice an  improvement  almost straight away. Within a month you'll be surprised how  much  softer and smoother your skin is.      Yellow nicotine stains on the fingers and nails are unsightly,  but lemons can help here, too. Rub the affected areas with half a lemon  every couple of days and you should soon see the colour start to fade. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> </blockquote>
