No, lemon cannot bleach lips.
Lemons are acidic and can irritate the delicate skin on your lips. Applying lemon juice directly to your lips can lead to:
- Dryness and chapping: The acidity of lemon can strip away natural oils, leaving your lips dry and cracked.
- Sun sensitivity: Lemon juice can make your lips more sensitive to the sun, increasing the risk of sunburn.
- Irritation and redness: The acidity can cause irritation, redness, and even inflammation.
While lemon juice is often touted as a natural bleaching agent for skin, it's not recommended for use on lips.
Instead, focus on gentle exfoliation, hydration, and protecting your lips from the sun.
