Lemon essential oil is extracted from the peels of fresh lemons through cold pressing. With a history of over 1,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine, lemon essential oil is known for its invigorating, cleansing, and purifying properties. Valued for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial qualities, lemon oil can provide an energy and metabolism boost, elevate moods, and disinfect skin and surfaces. When diluted and applied topically, lemon essential oil can treat various skin conditions, including acne, by killing bacteria trapped in pores that cause breakouts. The oil also gently clarifies skin by exfoliating dead skin cells that often become trapped in hair follicles and pores.
