Application:
Before application, thoroughly cleanse your face with warm water to open the pores, then pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Use your fingertips to gently massage the cream onto your face, avoiding the eye area. Apply in circular motions to enhance absorption.
Leave On:
Allow the mixture to sit on your skin for approximately 10 minutes, but be cautious not to leave it on for too long due to the potential drying and irritating effects of lemon juice.
Rinse Off:
Rinse the mixture off with cool water to close the pores, then pat your skin dry with a towel.
Moisturize:
Follow up with a gentle moisturizer to counteract potential dryness, as both aspirin and lemon can be drying.
Precautions:
Patch Test: Conduct a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying the mixture to your entire face, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Sun Sensitivity: Given that lemon juice increases skin sensitivity to sunlight, use this cream at night and apply sunscreen during the day.
Not for Everyone: Avoid this remedy if you are allergic to aspirin, have facial cuts or open wounds, or if your skin reacts negatively to acidic substances like lemon juice.
While this homemade cream provides a cost-effective approach to addressing certain skin concerns, consulting with a dermatologist is advisable for persistent issues or in case of adverse reactions.
