Plabita Sharma, National Training Manager, The Body Shop India, shares the benefits of this versatile ingredient used in body care for decades owing to its numerous natural benefits.
Lemons are an excellent source of Vitamin C, calcium and potassium all of which are known to improve the appearance of the skin, hair and nails too. One of the most common ways to consume lemons is the addition of lemon water in your morning routine; simple squeeze a lemon in lukewarm water and sip to help wake up your system, release toxins and add a zing to your step.
