Method
- Mix equal parts lemon juice and rose water.
- Apply directly to skin. You might feel an initial sting from the lemon juice.
- Rinse after 15-30 minutes.
Why It Works
Lemon juice is a natural astringent and mild antibacterial agent. Rose petals, from which rose water is made, also have antibacterial properties. It is a also a skin toner and helps to mitigate the rather harsh, acidic quality of straight lemon juice.
Precautions
Be careful of exposing your skin to direct sunlight if you have been using lemon juice on your face. Also, though a strong reaction is unlikely, do not continue this treatment if it irritates your skin.
