Does lemon make the body acidic?

Q: Since lemon is acidic, will it harm my teeth?
A: I have been drinking a minimum of 10 drops of lemon in my water daily for 12 years, and there has been NO EROSION of enamel.  Previously, I was unable to eat citrus fruit or fresh pineapple because my teeth were so sensitive.

Q: How does lemon essential oil make us less acidic?  
A: There is a chemical reaction in the body which causes some citrus oils – particularly LEMON and GRAPEFRUIT – to leave the body in a more alkaline state.  In other words, the molecules of lemon and grapefruit bond the acid molecules to them.  They are then eliminated from the body in the urine.  It is important to note that lemon and grapefruit are ACID-BINDERS while ORANGE IS ACID-FORMING.


Why a regular face cream just doesn’t cut it.

Did you know that the skin around your eyes can be 10x thinner than the skin on the rest of your face?

The skin around the eyes is thinner and has less oil glands than the skin on the rest of the body. This makes it more prone to dryness, droopiness, fine lines and wrinkles. It makes it the very first place to show fine lines, puffiness, or dark circles.

That’s why a regular face cream just doesn’t cut it. The eye area needs something gentler, more concentrated, and designed to hydrate and protect without overloading.

A good eye cream can:
  •  Lock in deep hydration
  •  Reduce the look of puffiness + dark circles
  •  Soften fine lines for a smoother appearance
 Your eyes do a lot for you & deserve their own special care.
