lemon juice is acidic and will help to temporaily shrink the pores it will not tighten the skin..this not a long lasting effect and overuse can cause irritation and can also cause skin to become sensitive and dry. your best bet is to drink lots of water and moisturize to keep the skins elastisity at optium levels- that is your optium levels. everyones skin is different and the variables are numerous. so drink h2o and take care of your skin and hope for the best...

The detoxifying effect of Lemon on the body helps with lymphatic cleansing, reducing cellulite and is one of the main oils used in the treatment of obesity. It is also very beneficial for the respiratory system and helps in the treatment of colds, flu and fever.

Lemon is very useful on oily skin, open pores and acne. It also helps to tone and tighten loose skin.

Same goes for Grapefruit.

the effects are temporary its a quick fix for a limited time frame and overuse can cause some nasty side effects. essential oils are great don't get me wrong i use a variety of them but nothing like that is going to tighten excess skin in the ab region.

For serious loose skin, no, it will not help.

cool i just want ppl to be aware that it is not a quick permenant fix for excess sick, its a temp fix for slightly saggy (aging mostly) skin.. the best thing is prevention. that being taking care of your body inside and out..
