I used to love showering with lemon scented shower gels when I lived in LA. Just something about the fresh citrus scent made me feel calm yet invigorated. It’s been awhile since I used any lemon scented beauty products but ran across some in a recent trip to Bath & Body Works. I took one sniff and instantly fell in love again. I immediately made my purchase and continued to sneak a whiff of its scent for the rest of the night. I couldn’t help it! Curious as to the benefits of lemon scented beauty products I did a bit of research.
OrganicFacts.net states “The health benefits of lemon oil can be attributed to its stimulating, calming, carminative, anti-infection, astringent, detoxifying, antiseptic, disinfectant, sleep inducing, and antifungal properties. These benefits of lemon oil include its ability to treat stress disorders, fever, infections, asthma, over weight, insomnia, skin disorders, hair disorders, stomach problems and tiredness.”
I’m guessing my Bath & Body Works version is not very organic, but hey, the scent is still working for me!
