Lemon oil is a great option for a natural, cleansing astringent (which is why lemon is such a popular ingredient for cleaning products!) Lemon oil is a natural antibacterial and antifungal, which make it great for wound treatment. The use of lemon oil on a wound may even quicken the healing process.

Lemon oil is also an effective option for helping with hyperpigmentation. For best results, use lemon oil in the evening when you’re doing your usual cleansing routine.

While lemon oil has a lot of benefits for your skin, it should be noted that it’s incredibly powerful and needs a carrier oil to be used safely. Lemon oil can also cause skin irritation as well as increased sun sensitivity. If you use lemon oil on your skin, especially for hyperpigmentation, keep your treated skin out of direct sunlight for at least 12 hours.
