Ingredients:
1 teaspoon of pure honey.
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (make sure the powder is very fine).
The juice of half a fresh lemon.
Preparation and how to apply step by step:
Place half a teaspoon of baking soda in a small bowl.
Squeeze lemon juice onto the baking soda. You will notice an immediate effervescent reaction (foam); this is perfectly normal.
Add the teaspoon of honey and stir very well with a spatula until you obtain a smooth paste.
For nighttime use only. Washyour face with your usual soap and leave it slightly damp.
Apply the mask to your face by massaging very gently in a circular motion (without rubbing hard, as baking soda can scratch the skin).
Leave the mixture on your face for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not leave it on overnight under any circumstances.
Rinse with plenty of warm water until all the product is removed, then immediately apply your usual moisturizer to soothe the skin.
Important precautions:
This is a harsh mask and is notsuitable for sensitive skin, skin with rosacea, or active acne. Lemon juice is highly photosensitive; if you expose yourself to the sun with traces of lemon on your skin, you will suffer severe chemical burns and permanent dark spots (phytophotodermatitis).
For this reason, it should only be used at night, and you must thoroughly wash your face the following morning, always applying sunscreen. Because baking soda alters the skin’s natural pH, limit the use of this treatment to once every two weeks as an occasional deep cleanse, never as partof a daily routine.
