09:21




اسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Hi beauties,


Lemon juice is a popular treatment for acne, blemishes, and oily skin. You can mix fresh lemon juice with water to create a toner that will tighten large pores and reduce the amount of sebum produced by your face. The citrus fruit also works as an antibacterial and antioxidant, meaning that it protects the skin from free radical damage, repairs cells, and speeds up new skin generation. In short, lemon works wonders, resulting in beautiful, glowing skin.

1. Homemade Anti-Wrinkle Lemon Face Mask with Green Tea

Green tea is full of antioxidants and phytochemicals that will keep the Wrinkles at bay. Lemon juice coupled with green tea will banish fine lines and prevent your skin from aging prematurely. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that will protect skin from Wrinkles.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons green tea (Benefits: Provides antioxidant protection. Nourishes skin with vitamins and minerals. Fights wrinkles and slows the appearance of fine lines. Contains anti-cancer properties that guard skin against cancerous cells. Kills Acne causing bacteria. Protects the skin from UV damage.)
  • A pinch of turmeric powder (Benefits: Has medicinal, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. Will save your skin from many inflammatory conditions, including ACNE, eczema, rosacea, and others. Offers antioxidant protection. Lightens age spots, freckles, acne scars, dark marks, and discolorations.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice


 Directions:
  1. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix well.
  2. Apply the lemon face mask to your face with a cotton ball. Let it dry for three minutes.
  3. When the mask is dry, use another cotton ball to pat on another layer of the mixture and let dry for three minutes. Repeat the procedure until all of the face mask mixture is done. Let the final coat of the face mask settle for 10 minutes.
  4. When the time is up, wash the mask off with cool water. Pat your face dry with a towel.


Tips:

1. It's unlikely that the turmeric will stain your skin. But if it does, use a sugar scrub to remove the stain. It's perfectly fine to skip turmeric if you don't have any.
2. Coating your face with more than one layer simply softens and nourishes your face and lets the mask penetrate deeper into your pores. If you're fine with one coat, store the mixture in the refrigerator for future use.
3. Gather your hair away from your face into a ponytail. Protect your hairline with a headband.
2. DIY Anti-Acne Egg White Lemon Face Mask

If you have oily, ACNE-prone skin, lemon juice and egg white is just what you need. Egg whites have long been used for tightening skin and shrinking large pores, which reduces the amount of sebum on your face. The egg white will also create a pH balance that will keep the lemon juice from irritating the acne on your face.
Ingredients:
  • 1 egg white (Benefits: Contains vitamins and minerals that nourish skin. Provides protein, which protects skin from free radical damage. Reduces oiliness in skin. Fights acne. Tightens and shrinks large pores. Lifts sagging skin.)
  • 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (see tips to determine how much is right for your skin)

Directions:
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
  2. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  3. Gently massage the face mask onto your clean face with circular motions. Let it dry for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. When the time is up, rinse the mask off with tepid water. Pat your face dry with a towel.

Tips:

1. If you have severe acne, only use 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Too much will irritate your acne. If you've got mild acne, you can use up to one teaspoon to clear the pimples.
2. You can make more than one batch and store the extra in the fridge for up to one week. However, if it starts smelling funky, toss it in the trash.
3. If the face mask feels like it is burning, quickly rinse the mask off with cold water. Apply honey to soothe any redness or burning sensation.

3. Anti-Blemish Honey, Tomato, and Lemon Face Mask


This anti-blemish face mask comprises lemon, honey, and tomato. These three kitchen ingredients are some of the best for skin-lightening and evening out skin discolorations. Get ready for smooth, freckle-free skin.

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (Benefits: Is a humectant, meaning it preserves moisture in skin cells. Contains antiseptic and antibacterial properties that kill ACNE -causing bacteria. Lightens skin. Soothes inflamed acne. Reduces the visibility of blemishes, dark spots, and freckles. Evens out skin discolorations.)
  • 1 teaspoon tomato pulp (Benefits: Is rich in antioxidants, which combats free radicals that cause premature aging. Lightens blemishes and evens out skin discolorations. Promotes youthful, radiant skin.)

  • Directions:
    1. Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly in a small mixing bowl.
    2. Use clean fingertips to apply the lemon face mask onto your face. Let the mask dry for about 10 minutes.
    3. When the time is up, use warm water to loosen the mask before rinsing with cool water. Pat your face dry with a soft clean towel.

    Tips:

    1. Use steam to open up the pores on your face before applying the mask to allow it to deeply penetrate.
    2. You can store excess face mask mixture in your rrefrigeratorfor up to a week. However, if it starts to smell unusual, throw it away immediately.
    3. Wear an old t-shirt to prevent the face mask from dripping onto your clothes.
