9 Steps to make a Lemon Face Mask

, Gather your ingredients: Ensure you have fresh lemons and high-quality honey on hand for the best results

Wash your face: Start with clean skin by washing your face with a gentle cleanser and patting it dry with a clean towel.

Juice the lemon: Cut a fresh lemon in half and squeeze out the juice using a citrus juicer or by hand. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp

Measure the ingredients: In a small bowl, measure out 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice

, Add honey: Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the bowl with the lemon juice. Honey has moisturizing and antibacterial properties that complement the benefits of lemon for the skin

, Optional: Add essential oil: If desired, add 1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil to the mixture. Essential oils like lavender or tea tree oil can enhance the mask with additional soothing or antibacterial properties

, Apply the mask: Using clean fingertips or a brush, apply the lemon face mask evenly to your face, avoiding the delicate eye area. You can also apply the mask to your neck and décolletage if desired

Relax and let it sit: Allow the mask to sit on your skin for 10-15 minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic.

Rinse off: After 10-15 minutes, rinse the mask off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel and follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.
