Lemon/Honey Blackhead Remover


Lemon/Honey Blackhead Remover

½ lemon

3-4 drops honey

Drop the honey onto the lemon half. Rub the lemon on your face, emphasize the black heads prone areas like nose, chin etc. Leave the lemon and honey mixture on your face for 5 minutes, then wash it with cold water. You will see the results immediately. Additionally, lemon juice will also fade other marks/spots on the face and honey will moisturize.
I use this almost daily for the softening and moisturizing effects. Plus it makes my skin glow!
~~You can wrap the used lemon half in foil and store in refrigerator for, oh I’d say a few days, but I find mine good for almost a week. Well worth investing in a lemon!~~
