There are many amazing benefits of lemon water, and below, we’ll go over some of its best topical uses.

Vegetable glycerin, another common ingredient in facial serums, acts as a toner and moisturizer. It promotes water retention in your skin while also treating oily spots. (A win-win situation.)
I recommend using darker kitchenware to make this recipe, as the yellow citrus can stain lighter bowls and plates.
Note: As with all topical products, be sure to first test a small spot of skin for adverse reactions.
