HOMEMADE SKIN CARE RECIPES & TIPS:

1. Try rubbing lemon juice over blackheads at night, then rinse with cool water in the morning.  Add a gentle moisturizer after rinse.  Following this skin care regiment, daily, can eliminate blackheads and prevent future break-outs.
2. Try clearing acne lesions or scars, with a touch-up, then rinse with cool water.
3. Mix 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 drop of sweet almond oil and 3 drops of diluted lemon juice for a homemade facial mask.  Apply mixture to face for 15 - 20 minutes, let stand, then rinse with cool water.  This homemade facial helps fade dark spots, discolorations, fine lines and wrinkles.  It exfoliates dead skin cells and provides a natural glow to skin.

CAUTION!  Lemon juice is mildly acidic.  This antioxidant juice may sting, temporarily, when applied to skin.  Dilute the juice with water then gently apply to skin with a soft cotton ball.  If you have citrus allergies do not use lemon juice topically or internally.  Consult your health care provider, if needed.
