This natural mask uses fresh ginger, honey, and lemon juice — a powerful combination to fight signs of aging. Ginger contains antioxidants that help protect collagen, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Honey deeply moisturizes and has antibacterial properties. Lemon helps brighten the skin and boosts vitamin C levels.
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger juice (grate and squeeze the juice)
- 1 teaspoon organic honey
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional for brightening)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ginger Juice:
- Grate a small piece of fresh ginger root.
- Use a clean cloth or spoon to squeeze out about 1 teaspoon of juice.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a small bowl, combine the ginger juice, honey, and lemon juice (if using).
- Mix well until you get a smooth, slightly sticky consistency.
- Clean Your Face:
- Wash your face with warm water to open the pores.
- Pat dry with a clean towel.
- Apply the Mixture:
- Use a clean brush or your fingers to apply a thin layer on your face, especially on wrinkled areas (forehead, around eyes, mouth).
- Avoid getting too close to the eyes due to lemon.
- Leave It On:
- Let the mask sit for 15–20 minutes.
- You may feel a slight tingling — this is normal.
- Rinse Off:
- Wash your face with lukewarm water.
- Follow with your regular moisturizer or aloe vera gel.
Usage Tips:
- Use 2–3 times a week for best results.
- For sensitive skin, skip the lemon juice and do a patch test first.
- Always apply sunscreen when using lemon in skincare, as it can increase sun sensitivity.
