How this works
Using this mask regularly makes your skin softer and smoother.
The mask cleanses your skin and makes your skin feel fresh and gives it a mild glow
Lemons are packed with Vitamin C which keeps your skin youthful. They also have skin -lightening properties. So they are used in many skin care products like soaps, moisturisers etc. Lemon and honey make your skin fairer and brighter and even lighten dark spots, age spots, scars and tan marks. The mask fades pigmentation marks and makes your skin even- toned.
Just like lemons, honey has also gained prominence in the skin care range. It has antimicrobial, antiinflammatory properties and healing properties so it is used in cleansers, creams etc. Honeys anti- inflammatory properties soothes skin irritation and skin redness
Honey is antiageing. It delays wrinkles as it moisturises and hydrates ageing skin. It tightens the skin’s pores, making your skin more youthful.
The mask is even suitable for oily and combination skin as lemon juice has astringent properties; it combats extra oiliness. The antibacterial and antifungal properties of lemon juice and honey kill bacteria on skin which helps heal blackheads and clear acne, pimples, breakouts and other skin infections.
Honey and lemon both exfoliate your skin. This removes dirt that clogs the skins pores and gets rid of dead cells on the skin.
