All the products needed for the homemade oil are affordable and can be obtained at the nearest shop or marketplace.
Here is what you need:
Peeler for fruits
Lemons – 3-5 pieces
Any device used for pressing
Strainer (sieve)
Olive oil (or coconut oil) – a little bit
Bowl, bottle with a wide neck or another case (box) where you will keep your lemon oil
Follow this instruction on how to make lemon oil for skin lightening:
Step 1. Take each lemon and wash it with water. It is better to use warm or even hot water. If you see any dirt on the fruit skin, gently scrub it off.
Step 2. It is necessary to peel each lemon. If you have a special peeler you will quickly complete this step. If you don’t, just use a knife and remove the yellow skin, or take a grater to scrape the skin. Sometimes it is easier to put your lemons into a very cold place (it is better to use your refrigerator’s freezer or ask your friends to help if you have no freezer at home). When frozen, your fruit will be much quicker to grate.
Step 3. You will be using the lemon skin, so cut it into pieces or use grated pieces to fit inside the garlic press or another pressing gadget you have in your kitchen. Keep pressing over a bowl to squish some liquid from the fruit skin. It can take some time, so stay patient and enjoy the results even if you see only a moderate amount
Step 4. Don’t throw away all the skins you have pressed. Take a mesh sieve and continue working with them to receive even more liquid.
Step 5. Store the liquid you have obtained in a clean container (a small bottle or another dish). Leave it like this for a couple of weeks, but for a better effect, you can add some olive oil inside this bottle as well.
Step 6. Keep an eye on the changes that take place inside the container. The natural lemon oil will slowly separate from the olive oil. It is great if you can shake the container once in a while.
Step 7. Sometimes you have to wait for 2-4 weeks for an effect to occur.
Step 8. Now get a new clean container and place the mixed oils into it through a siever.
Step 9. Your oil is ready to use. Apply it to your skin to achieve an even color effect, add a couple of drops into your shampoo, into face wash product, etc. Place this new container with lemon oil into a dry dark place after using. It can be stored like this for up to half a year
P.S. Squishing lemon skin to extract oil does not bring too much oil for you. There should be enough for personal care for a while and you will have to repeat the same procedure once in a while to get a more natural product for yourself.
Some people prefer getting lemon oil in big quantities and in such a case, you can think of getting a special oil extractor, which can be expensive and might not work for everyone, or you can add more olive or coconut oil into your lemon skin oil and combine oils this way.
Lemon is an interesting fruit with multiple benefits. It is can be added into tea, salads, different meals and it can be turned into lemon oil used as a natural skin lightening home remedy.
You can improve your hair, the tone of your skin, nails, treat acne, and everything can be done with the same product – extract of lemon oil.
