Lemons, like ACV, have high acidity levels that make them great for exfoliation. They are also known to remove pigmentation, hence why lemons are often used to lighten hair. Ever use a lemon to clean your hands? That’s because they are great for killing germs. Try a slice or two under your arms. In the warm summer months, keep some sliced lemons in the fridge. This is great for a refreshing feel.
Tomatoes
Lycopene counteracts the actions of free radicals, causing tomatoes to be a great antioxidant for the skin. They are also known to have skin lightening properties. Use slices of tomato under the arm for at least 15 minutes at a time to begin to see a difference.
Oranges
The properties in an orange make oranges a great toner and astringent. Try making the orange peel into a scrub, giving it a double whammy as an exfoliator, too!
