I sincerely hope she doesn't have any open sores.

[misstia]

yeah.....

and wouldn't it be stingy to your delicate areas?

[weekendpbs.livejournal.com]

my thoughts exactly!

[electro-girl.livejournal.com]

No, one lemon in a bath full of water will likely be diluted enough to keep from being irritating.

[misstia]

true, but it looks like there is more than one lemon in that bath.....

[electro-girl.livejournal.com]

Yes, that might not be comfortable. I don't know how many lemons would be too many lemons...

[misstia]

yeah, they don't really say....i know lemons have an astringent property and are good for a face wash....but in a bath? and that water in the tub there looks pretty lemon juicy.....

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

Maybe she peed in it.

I was just thinking about how I always come away with little scratches after playing with my cat. Lemon bath after that? No. No, thank you.

[air-and-angels.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that leave your skin feeling all dry and tight? It would smell awesome, but I don't think it would really be all that great for your skin.

Watch for those seeds, baby!

[spyderfyngers.livejournal.com]

I got sympathy pains just looking at this.

[atheistkathleen.livejournal.com]

wtf hahaha i think i'll go slice some lemons into my bathwater lmao

[write-light.livejournal.com]

it's not any more astringent than bath salts; it's not battery acid, just a lemon in 15 gallons of water. The aromatherapy value and the lemon oil outweigh any worries.

[electro-girl.livejournal.com]

Seriously. As someone who has actually done this (yeah, maybe it's weird, but it smells good :p), it's not irritating, or overly-drying, even to someone with already dry skin.

[moonjaguar.livejournal.com]

I love love love a bath like this. It's cheaper and less drain-clogging than a Lush bath bomb. My skin's oily and zitty and I tend to itch when the temperature's above 70 F so this is heaven.

[misstia]

15 gallons? that's a small bath! I fill my tub almost to the top! :)

[write-light.livejournal.com]

I was taking a wild guess! :D

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

So this is what you're supposed to do when life hands you lemons?

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

My dad would have been worried about a lemon slice, or the pulp, somehow plugging up the drain ("What the hell do you wanna do that for anyway?"), especially in light of the fact that I purposely stopped up the bathroom sink drain with (clean) toilet paper when I was around eight or so. I don't know why I did it, either, except it was an experiment of some sort...

[kimerastorm.livejournal.com]

Maybe you wanted to see if it could go down -any- pipe as opposed to just the toilet pipe?

That's all I can think of.

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

LOL! I think I was doing some sort of "commercial" about how you didn't need a rubber stopper to hold water in the sink or some such nonsense like little kids dream up--I do remember thinking, "Oh, I'll just keep pushing it down the drain and everything will be OK." Famous last words.

[mary-shelley77.livejournal.com]

Your dad sounds like my father-in-law. He's always whining about how the fact that my husband (his son, mind you) and I have long hair, and that clogs up the bathtub. I swear, he's like a liberal Hank Hill.

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

YES! My dad would take a wooden spoon and use the handle (oh, this went over so well with mom) to clean loose hair out of the tub drain when I lived at home. It was a great day for him when that Mr. Plumber stuff for slow drains was invented. He always had a bottle under the sink.

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

My sister put a rock in her nose when she was about four "to clean it."

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

That is HILARIOUS!!! Was she trying to clean the rock or her nose? *wipes tears of laughter off cheeks*

[spuzzlightyear.livejournal.com]

And then once your done, you can just drink the bathwater.

[misstia]

after you add some sugar!

[thebazu.livejournal.com]

this sounds really nice! it would be such a nice thing to do before bed on a hot summer night. mmmm.

[donnalee-kiss.livejournal.com]

Actually I thought so too, since I have oily skin so I don't have to worry about drying.

[q-u-i-e-s.livejournal.com]

Thank you, LUSH, for making the lemon slice bath obsolete.

[cuddledumplin.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I tried diluted lemon juice on my face years ago, and my skin got all red and irritated. I have super-sensitive skin, though.

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

Ouch! I had a friend in high school who did the same thing for sunburn on her face. EPIC fail.

[cactuswren.livejournal.com]

Take that, Jean Naté.
