Notes
Always apply on clean face and follow up with an alcohol free toner. This is a must as toner helps to restore the ph balance of the skin to normal.This is to bring the pH level of your skin back to normal. Remember we talked about Lemons being acidic and having a lower pH than our skin! After toning,either apply moisturizer or a few drops of vitamin E oil. After applying the face mask for 5-6 days, give a couple of days break and then start again. if you are sensitive to lemon juice, use a tsp of thick yogurt instead. You shouldn’t use lemon if you know you’re going to be out in the sun, as doing so can increase your risk of sunburn and other side effects.
