Lemon is usually used in hair oils and shampoos. But directly applying it may irritate the scalp skin. Do a patch test before applying it.

Hey, I've been dealing with a really oily face and it's becoming quite frustrating.

Is it safe to use every day, or could it cause any issues with my skin? Would love some guidance!
