1. Clean Up Your Dog’s Face
If you have a white or light colored dog then you are well acquainted with chromodacryorrhea, that brownish red stain that affects the eyes, mouth, and sometimes even the feet. Although it’s not harmful, it certainly is ugly and regular washing won’t make it go away, but lemon juice can!
Mix equal parts of lemon juice and baking soda and rub the paste into your dog’s fur in the affected areas. Be sure not to let them lick it off and try to keep it directly out of their eyes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then rinse well. Your doggie will have their beautiful, natural color back!
2. Whiten Your Nails
If you have ever gone to a salon for a manicure or pedicure and paid extra to have your yellowing nails whitened, here is a little money saving tip for you: simply use lemon juice. Yellowing nails is normal with age and a lack of sunlight. Add the juice of ½ of a lemon to 1 cup of warm water. Place your nails in this solution for 5 minutes. You can even rub some of the lemon peel across the top of the nail for extra whitening power. Rinse and moisturize afterwards.
