3. Leave it on for 15–20 minutes.

### **Cautions & Tips**

* Always do a **patch test** before applying to larger areas of skin.
* Don’t apply lemon to open wounds, cuts, or irritated skin — it can sting!
* If you have sensitive skin, dilute the lemon juice more or limit use to 2–3 times a week.
* Never go into the sun with lemon on your skin — it can cause **photosensitivity** or even **chemical burns**.
