@tamsskyn: Olive oil doesn’t need lemon juice to work I’ve been taking a tablespoon of olive oil every morning for the last 18 months, and the good stuff - healthy fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties all come from the olive oil itself. Lemon juice is just something people add for taste or its own separate benefits, but it’s not required. Personally, when I tried adding lemon juice I didn’t notice any difference in benefits; if anything, it upset my stomach. Bottom line: If you drink olive oil on its own, you’re still getting all the benefits- Hydrated, glowing, younger-looking skin with fewer breakouts and less inflammation. Lemon is optional.
