This recipe utilizes the natural lightening properties of lemon juice and the exfoliating power of sugar to help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and sugar together until you form a slightly thick paste.
- Apply to Skin: Gently massage the mixture onto the affected areas of your skin using circular motions.
- Leave On: Allow the mixture to sit on your skin for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse Off: Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Moisturize: Apply a gentle moisturizer to your skin.
Important Notes:
- Patch Test: Before applying this mixture to your entire face, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
- Sun Protection: Always wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day, especially after using this treatment, as lemon juice can increase sun sensitivity.
- Consistency: For best results, use this treatment 2-3 times per week.
- Caution: Avoid getting the mixture in your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
