No matter what your skin issue is, it is possible that this lemon mask can treat it. Here are some reasons you should add this DIY lemon mask to your beauty regimen.
Almost every home has a lemon and a box of baking soda. Baking soda's abrasive texture aids in exfoliation, while lemon juice's vitamin C content makes it an effective skin revitalizer. To that end, what is the procedure for making a face mask out of lemon juice and baking soda? This article discusses making a face mask from these two everyday household items.
Meanwhile, baking powder's abrasive texture is a physical exfoliator on the face and may aid in pore cleansing. As a result, many skin problems can be remedied with a face mask made from lemon juice and baking powder. However, remember that both might irritate, so they shouldn't be used on very delicate parts of the skin.
So now that you know how good lemon and baking soda are for your skin, let's see what they can do when combined.
Clears Acne When oil and debris accumulate in your pores, you produce blackheads. This face mask might help reduce blackheads since lemon juice helps eliminate oil, and baking soda aids in exfoliating the skin.
Getting Rid of Whiteheads Whiteheads, like blackheads, are caused by excess oil and debris gathering in the skin's pores around the nose. Some people have successfully used a mask made of baking soda and lemon juice to get rid of whiteheads.
Treats hyperpigmentation Hyperpigmentation and melanin production are both reduced by the use of lemon juice. Anecdotal data also shows that baking soda might help lighten skin tone. Therefore, a face mask made of lemon juice and baking soda might help diminish the appearance of discoloration.
Caution: Lemon juice can induce photosensitivity, so be careful (i.e., it causes skin redness, itching, and burning). It would be best if you protect your face from the sun after using one of these masks by using sunscreen.
