Yes it is! I know there are many different, natural home skin care recipes that include lemon juice, but to tell you the truth, lemon juice is way to acidic to apply directly to the skin. Lemon juice can not only disrupt the Ph mantle of your skin, but cause breakouts and wreak havoc on sensitive skin! The best way to add anything lemon to your skin care is through the skin and pith “white part” of the lemon. The lemon essential oil comes from the skin (rind), is loaded with vitamin C and is an antibacterial, etc. The pith is loaded with antioxidants, flavonoids, anti-inflammatories, etc.

Never put essential oils straight onto the skin. Always use some kind of carrier or carrier oil when using essential oils.
