Can I Put Lemon Juice on my Face and Leave It Overnight?

I've done it several times before to even out my skin tone, and it doesn't burn my skin or irritate it at all. I wash off the undiluted juice in the morning and apply sunscreen. I was wondering if doing this for months or years together would harm my skin/cause me to age faster as it is an acid. I have medium brown skin.
