Now I replaced that with water bottles. And although that helped, it didn’t quite clear my acne.

Then I discovered that mixing fresh lemon juice with water really helps a lot. In fact, if you do only one thing, I would recommend the acne lemon juice.

1. In the morning, I wake up, splash a bit of water on my face and then I go and cut up a whole lemon in half.
2. After that, I juice the lemon using a cheap fruit juicer, one that’s going to separate the juice from the pulp and seeds.
3. Then, I open up a water bottle and take a healthy gulp, so that there’s room to mix the lemon juice.
4. Afterwards, I mix in the lemon juice with the water and shake it just a bit.

NOTE: “BOTTLE WATER ONLY! Or purified at least. No tap water.”

A little more details on my lemon water for acne routine

There we go; the lemon juice is ready to go for the rest of the day. Actually, I usually end up drinking it all within 1-2 hours, which is fine, there’s no need to extend it throughout the day. When I first started doing this, it was actually difficult to gulp down that much lemon, so what I did was use half a lemon per day, and I kept the other side for the next. After a while though, I noticed better results using the whole lemon, and the taste was actually enjoyable, so I now do a complete lemon per day.

Side effects of Lemon Water

Note: Usually after drinking lemon water, I noticed that my teeth are a bit more sensitive (makes sense since it’s slightly a slightly acidic drink) so what I do is I brush my teeth about 30-60 min after taking the lemon water. Sometimes I forget, or I just eat food and it seems to have the same effect, but I don’t want to have any cavities so I make sure to take care of my teeth! Some people suggested that I could drink it with a straw… I guess that could work too. Also, I never take more than 1 lemon per day; it’s apparently not good to take too much.

UPDATE: Do not take more than 1 lemon per day, I usually do 1 lemon per day for 7 days and then I go into a ‘maintenance dose’ of 1 lemon every 2-3 days. Taking more than this can cause side effects.
