How To: Lighten Your Hair With Lemon Juice

This is a really simple and easy way to lighten your hair with one simple ingredient: A LEMON! First, you will need to work the lemon juice into your hair evenly. I think this works best when you squeeze out all of the juice in the lemon and pour it into a spray bottle. This method makes it easier to get the lemon juice into your hair. Then, you want to leave the lemon juice in your hair while you are out in the sun for about an hour. REMEMBER-lemon juice contains lots of acids so you don’t want to expose your hair to the extreme sun for long periods of time.

You may need to repeat this process several times throughout the season until you can notice a blonde color in your hair. This color could take several weeks to get that perfect blonde color you are looking for. There are many different other methods to lighten your hair. I will definitely be trying this method out when summer roles around!

The Reality of Skin Cancer

I never really knew how deadly skin cancer can be or how dangerous it is until after reading this article on seventeen.com (I will put a link below). Anyone can get skin cancer, even teenagers. You are at a higher risk of getting skin cancer if you go to tanning beds. Even if you only use a tanning bed ONE time your risk for melanoma INCREASES by 75 percent. Tanning beds can be so harmful to your skin. Learn the facts about how to prevent skin cancer. Always apply sunscreen when at the beach, pool, or even your own backyard! It is SO VERY important to apply SPF on skin. That includes your face and lips too! Read this article about how a teenager got skin cancer at only age 17.

Mini Review

I am absolutely loving my new Aveeno Ultra-Calming Face wash. This is a miracle worker on my skin. After using this face wash my skin feels so smooth, soft, and clean. I purchased this at Target for around $7 dollars. It is totally worth the money! If you have dry or sensitive I would HIGHLY recommend this product. Please be aware this product is NOT oil free if you have oily skin. Let me know if you want to see more short reviews like this!
