At home, lime peel might be destined for the kitchen compost bin once you've extracted the fruit's juicy core, but actually, the rind can be just as beneficial for our skin and hair as the fruit itself.

What are the benefits of limes for the skin and hair?
Packed full of vitamin C, limes protect and rejuvenate the skin while providing a deep cleanse.
The astringent properties of lime encourage pores to tighten, giving a smoothing and mattifying effect on the skin.
Naturally rich in antioxidants, they can help to manage redness and inflammation caused by breakouts.

What is an infusion?

Infusions are like herbal tea. Carefully selected ingredients, in this case fresh lime peel, are chosen for their benefits and gathered in a muslin cloth to be steeped in hot water for several minutes, delivering their properties and wonderful aromas.

Where do we get fresh limes?
Nearly all of our* fresh fruit and vegetables are purchased from the same specialist distributor that Lush UK has been working with since 2005. Depending on the time of year, they source products from different countries to try and have availability all year round. They work hard to supply as many organic products as possible and provide the highest quality available the rest of the time.

*With several manufacturing sites across the globe, this information may vary depending on where your Lush products were made.
