Lemon Balm and Lemon Peel are starting to become more popular in the skin care and beauty world. Companies are starting to incorporate more of these ingredients into their products due to how it protects and supports skin cells.

Lemon balm promotes a feeling of relaxation while improving skins appearance by softening wrinkles and fine lines. As it boosts skins overall complexion, it’s known to enhance your mood. Lemons contains caffeic acid, p-coumaris acid, and rosmarinic acid which are key components in treating oily and acne prone skin by cleansing clogged pores. Lemon balm contains powerful antioxidants that protects cells from free radicals.

Not only does it treat your beauty needs but helps out bodily functions as well. It supports healthy brain aging while protecting brain cells; which calls for a sharpened memory and boosts a positive mood. The balm protects liver from negative effects of an unhealthy diet while encouraging normal blood sugar levels. It includes ferric acid and quercetin that heals cold sores caused by herpes. It treats oral infections like bleeding gums and bad breathe since it's notorious for killing bacteria. In regards to easing pain, it helps tense nerves to relax because it's a mild sedative by nature. Not to mention, a great bug repellent that contains high levels of oil (citronella) that keeps bugs at bay.

Now, Lemon Peel is a skin brightening scrub that lightens age spots (leave on for an hour). It can be used as a skin toner as it helps tighten pores. It's mainly used to attain clarity and gives a natural glow to skin as it stimulates new cell growth. If you have discolored nails, don't worry! Lemon peel is a nail whitener - the acid content in citrus can whiten/brighten dull or stained teeth too.

It's also great for foot soaks and softening them if they're dry and/or cracked. The Vitamin C in the peel helps treat the flu, sore throats, cold, etc (it's safe to eat raw). The high amounts of citrus bio-flavonoids reduce oxidative stress making it a great travel sickness cure. Suck on a slice to stop feeling nauseous for about 10-15 minutes and you should be good to go.
