    1. Adv.: Women Everywhere Use Lemon Juice To Beautify Skin; April 16, 1918
    2. Jim Laird
    3. The Topeka Daily State Journal Tuesday April 16, 1918 Women Everywhere Use Lemon Juice To Beautify Skin. The beauty lotion which is becoming so popular throughout the country is easily prepared by anyone and a whole quarter pint of it doesn't cose any more than a small jar of the common, ordinary cold cream. Add the juice of two lemons to three ounces of orchard white and shake well in a bottle. Strain the lemon juice two or three times through a fine cloth so no pulp gets into the lotion, then it will keep fresh for months. Regardless of what price you pay or how highly advertised, there is nothing else really more meritorious in beautifying, softening and clearing the skin. As a tan and blemish remover, also to remove oiliness and sallowness, lemon juice has no rival. Masage it into the face, neck, and arms once or twice each day, and just see if it doesn't bring out the roses and hidden beauty! Lemons have always been used to bleach the skin, but pure lemon juice is too highly acid, therefore should never be used except in this manner. If properly prepared, this sweetly fragrant lotion will speak for itself. Any drug store will supply the three ounces of orchard white as very little cost, and the grocer will supply the lemons.
