Limoneira Company is joining forces once again in its newest marketing campaign, Unleash the Power of Lemons. Noteworthy beauty experts are teaming up to highlight the various ways lemons can be used in skin, nail and hair care. The campaign, which connects Limoneira to experts in the areas of health, beauty, food and beverage, lifestyle, and cleaning; promotes the many innovative uses of lemons.

 “The local leaders we’ve paired with are the movers and shakers in their industries and they’re experts in using lemons in a variety of creative, useful, and fun ways,” says John Chamberlain, Limoneira’s Director of Marketing. He continues, “Our ten beauty partners are excited to share their tips for using Limoneira lemons with consumers for easy and natural beauty solutions.”

Limoneira has come together with beauty experts in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Miami, San Francisco, Texas, Japan, Manila, China and Canada, according to a press release.

 The experts suggest the following uses for lemons as part of a beauty regime:
