Hi Rachel, I just came across your post and am super excited about it as my face has been gradually sporting dark spots more and more with each pregnancy I’ve had… I try not to care but if any sun hits them they are blaring and I really don’t like them. I saw one comment ask about lemon juice instead of lemon… would this be the same or do you think the juice has oxidized and may not be as good? I ask because I have a large bottle of organic lemon juice already…it would save me time/moola. Also, I saw a post about using Vit C powder… I also currently have that. If using a lemon and slicing is best I’ll do that, but if you think the juice or Vit C powder may work as well (since I already have both) I’d like to know your thoughts. Thanks much dear!
