3. 🧽 Spot Treatment for Blemishes
Got a breakout brewing? Try this simple treatment:
Mix a tiny pinch of activated charcoal with a drop of lemon juice. Dab it onto the blemish and leave on for 10–15 minutes before rinsing. The charcoal absorbs oil and bacteria, while the lemon’s acidity helps fight inflammation and bacteria.
⚠️ A Few Words of Caution
- Lemon juice is acidic. Always do a patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid direct sunlight after use, as lemon can make skin more sun-sensitive.
- Don’t overuse. These are powerful ingredients! Use once or twice a week for best results.
- Avoid open cuts or wounds. Lemon can sting or irritate broken skin.
