• Many apply lemon to their face for Vitamin C benefits, but direct application can cause irritation, redness, and sunburn.
• Dr. Yugal Rajput warns that citric acid in lemon can remove dead skin cells and help oily skin, but sensitive skin users need extreme caution.
• Direct lemon application is harmful for sensitive skin or those with cuts, and sun exposure after use increases discoloration risk.
