It’s good to be green. Limes have a sharp, zesty scent and bring the shine!
What is lime?
The key lime grows on the Citrus aurantifolia tree, mainly cultivated in Brazil and Mexico these days although it is native to Southeast Asia. Fruits are usually picked when green and unripe, making them richer in acid and sugar than lemons.
What are the benefits of lime?
Limes (and their oil) contain citric acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that provides gentle exfoliation, cleansing the skin of dead skin cells to leave it radiant and smooth. Their acidity gives a lot of shine to the hair as it flattens their cuticles to reflect light better. It is a top note in perfume blends, meaning it’s the first one your nose will pick, but it’s also the first to evaporate on the skin.
