Skin Brightener
A scrub made from lime can remove dry skin flakes from the body. The vitamin C in limes can repair the skin, while the acids and salts in it can remove dead skin.
Method: Mix three tablespoons of sweet orange essential oil, one tablespoon of agave nectar, the fresh juice of half a lime, and two tablespoons of sea salt in a large bowl. Massage this mixture onto your body in circular motions, then rinse and pat dry until the moisture evaporates.
Hangover Remedy
Limes can restore liver function, and sugar can help stabilize blood sugar levels that drop sharply after drinking, easing your groggy state.
Method: To alleviate a hangover from the night before, you can use two teaspoons of fresh lime juice, add 1/4 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Pour in 250 ml of water, then drink it slowly.
Fight Disease
Purdue University research shows that the vitamin C in citrus juices allows more catechins (an antioxidant believed to fight heart disease, stroke, and cancer) in tea to be better absorbed during digestion.
Method: Add a little fresh lime juice to a cup of green tea, and it becomes a super healthy drink.
Stain Remover
The citric acid contained in limes has a significant effect in breaking down grease and sticky substances. Use it to easily handle food grease stains in your microwave without having to scrub hard.
Method: Pour three tablespoons of lime juice into a cup filled with water, place it in the microwave and heat until the water boils. Let it steep for a few more minutes, then remove it. Wipe the microwave with a soft cloth dipped in soap, and then wipe it again with a clean, damp cloth, and your work is done.
