Let me share with you what causes the Hyperpigmentation:
- Most common one will be caused by UV exposure

Lemon is a super food for Vitamin C.  Its health benefitsinclude its use as a treatment of throat infections, indigestion, constipation, dental problems, and fever, internal bleeding, rheumatism, burns, obesity, respiratory disorders, cholera and high blood pressure, while it also benefits hair and skin care.

I love the sour lemon because it is compatible with most of the flavor, you can add it into your daily water, cook in your meal. 

I always use it in honey and it can act as a blood purifier to cleanse your stomach.

The health benefits of lemons to skin are due to its many nourishing elements like vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, niacin thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, copper, calcium, iron,  magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and protein.
