The "results" you are talking about need to be defined before it can be determined how long it will take for them to show up. Lemon juice is a very versatile substance and can be used for a variety of things. It can be used to reduce scars, as it is a natural bleaching agent and can help to lighten skin considerably.
If you are using it for this purpose, then the amount of time for results would depend upon factors such as the age of the scar. An old scar could take considerably longer, such as a matter of months to lighten up. A relatively new scar may lighten up faster.
Lemon juice can also be used to take care of excessively oily skin. If this is the case you are using it for, then the results could show up in as little as a week. This would again, depend not upon the color of your skin, but the texture. If your skin is excessively oily, it will take more time for the lemon juice to show results. If your skin veers between normal to oily, then you will be able to see results faster.
Lemon juice can also be used to generally bleach your skin and make it lighter in color. If you are using it for this purpose, then you should know that no matter what the color of your skin is, lemon juice will only serve to lighten it a few shades. Also, it is essential that you be aware of the fact that lemon juice is photosynthetic in nature. This means that if you apply it to your skin and then expose the skin to sunlight, then it will only darken your skin further. This effect is somewhat like the effect of excessive tanning. So you would have to take care that you do not go out in the sun while there is evidence of the lemon juice on your skin. In either case, if you are using lemon juice for this purpose, then you should continue to use it for at least a few months before you can hope to see results. Sometimes, lemon juice is also used to sanitize the skin. If you are using it to this end, then you should also know that lemon juice only has the ability to sanitize your skin while it is damp on your skin. Once it dries up, this functionality is discontinued.
