benefits :

1. REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

The high level of powerful antioxidants that are present in lemon peel extract is great as an anti-aging ingredient. They can help to prevent fine lines and wrinkles in the form of premature aging. You’ll have a younger-looking complexion that is more youthful and glowing. Helping to ward off lines and wrinkles comes from the ability of the fruit extracts to stimulate collagen production. The more collagen production you have, the better your skin can fight off signs of aging.

2. IMPROVES SAGGING AND LOSS OF ELASTICITY

There is Vitamin C in lemon peel extract that can help to stimulate collagen production, which can help to ward off sagging or loss of elasticity. Skin, as it ages, doesn’t produce as much beneficial collagen, which is like the building blocks of healthy skin. Finding products that improve collagen levels and stimulate elastin will make the skin plumper and firmer. You’ll notice that over time, the skin retains the elasticity that makes it bounce back better and looks less saggy.

3. MAY FIGHT ACNE

When acne is present in the skin, using products that contain well-known ingredients like salicylic acid can help, but it’s beneficial to try natural ingredients like lemon peel extract in skincare treatments because of it's anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and antifungal properties. All of those bacteria states contribute to more acne. It’s like they feed on that, multiplying to cause acne and blemishes, along with excess oils in the skin. Using cleansing products with lemon peel extract can sweep away bad bacteria and detoxify the skin. That way your skin will end up producing fewer acne bumps and blemishes.

4. HELPS IMPROVE HYPERPIGMENTATION

Hyperpigmentation is dark spots on the skin. Some of them are caused by sun damage, aging, or are hereditary. Ideally, you want to fade those dark spots for more flawless-looking skin. Lemon peel extract acts to inhibit tyrosinase production, which will not only help to prevent new dark spots from showing up on your skin, but it can also fade them in the process. This is a much gentler method of improving dark spots and overall skin tone, as opposed to using a harsher product with hydroquinone, which can cause skin irritation.

5. FIGHTS OFF FREE RADICALS THAT DAMAGE THE SKIN

When trying to fight off free radicals and oxidative stress that cause premature aging and damage to the skin, lemon peel ferment extract is highly concentrated and powerful. You’ll notice that the skin is fortified against environmental damage that can make it look dull and without radiance. The environmental damage comes from bad particles in the air that can attack and age the skin. Your skin needs to fight off this damage and products with lemon peel extract can be helpful as a part of your skin’s arsenal of defense.

6. BOOSTS NATURAL RADIANCE WITH VITAMIN C

A glowing radiance in the skin is boosted by the vitamin C or ascorbic acid contained in lemon peel, as a natural ingredient in skincare products. Your skin will be more glowing and have an enviable radiance to it. The vitamin C is a superhero ingredient that we use in many of our effective products at Cosmedica Skincare.

7. SUPERIOR EXFOLIATION

Lemon peel contains citric acid that can help exfoliate away dead skin cells and improve skin rejuvenation. Since lemon peel is considered an alpha-hydroxy acid, it’s going to chemically exfoliate the skin each time you use it. That’s why it’s a common ingredient in many scrubs and exfoliants. It really does help to make your skin so extra soft and smooth. The superior exfoliation of the way this natural skincare ingredient works is truly amazing. You’ll notice the difference the very first time you use products with alpha-hydroxy acids in them.

8. REDUCES EXCESS OIL IN THE SKIN

The citric acid in the lemon peel can help to dissolve away excess oils that can cause blackheads and clogged pores. You’ll notice less of an overproduction of oil in your skin when using citrus-based skincare products. Fewer oils accumulating on the skin trapped in your pores, will make them look smaller and smoother.
