I love the clean smell of lemon . . . here are a few cool tips and thrifty ways to use fresh lemons.
*Lemon-Milk Alpha Hydroxy Mask
Both fatty milk and lemons contain Alph Hydroxy Acids and when mixed they boost each others AHA.
1-1/2 Tbsp full-fat milk
1-2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 small wedge of sliced lemon
Small bowl
In your small bowl, combine the lemon juice and milk. Stir well, and dunk in the lemon wedge. Leave this on the counter (do NOT put this in the refrigerator, or you stop the bacterial process that you want). It will curdle and look funny; this is good.
After 3-4 hours, spread it on your clean face and leave on for 15-20 minutes.
Rinse well.(Note: Be careful for a few hours if you’re going out in the sun after this mask, as it will cause photosensitivity.)
**This is known for softening skin tone and facial skin as well!!!
Another lemon tip is mix the lemon peel in with your homemade vinegar cleaners to give it a fresh lemon scent!
Lemon is also known for helping heartburn.
