Hi everyone! I hope your week has been fabulous so far. Today I am writing about a homemade do-it-yourself face treatment/mask that will help with any problem areas. I really enjoy this mask because it is so simple to make and very cost efficient as well. (It only requires three common kitchen ingredients.) It only takes a few minutes, so it's a nice way to care for your skin even if you're a bit short on time. All you need is lemon juice, (I prefer using fresh lemons, but if you have already prepared lemon juice, that will work too.) baking soda, and honey. You can make as little or as much as you want.
Lemon juice is great for brightening the skin and cleaning. The fresh citrus scent is also very energizing and uplifting. The baking soda works to zap away any blemishes such as blackheads, whiteheads, pores, etc. while the honey is amazing for antibacterial purposes. Honey protects and nourishes your skin. Here's how I do this mask.
*I typically use this mask as a spot treatment as a opposed to a full face mask. (That's why my measurements are so small.) However, if you feel that you need a full mask, you can use bigger measurements as long as you keep the same ratio.
**Also, if you have sensitive skin, I recommend testing this on a small section of your skin (maybe inside your wrist or top of your hand... those areas tend to be just as tender and sensitive as your face) before applying this to your face.
-1 teaspoon of honey
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Mix all three ingredients together until smooth and frothy.
Rinse your face with warm water. (Warm water opens pores.)
Use a cotton swab to apply the mask to problem areas (or apply to full face if desired)
Let the mask sit for about 5-7 minutes.
Rinse with cool/cold water. (Cold water tightens and closes pores.)
Use facial moisturizers and sunscreen.
Done! Super simple and easy! Enjoy your face treatments and watch your face feel and look smooth, bright, and happy.
XOXO
Chloe
