How to Make a Homemade Lemon Facial Mask

Give your face the lemon treatment.

Homemade facials are a great alternative to expensive store-bought treatments and lengthy, costly trips to the spa. Lemon facials are especially good if you suffer from blotchy or uneven skin tones. Lemons act as a bleaching agent to help cure your face of those unsightly blotches.

Things You'll Need

• Lemon
• Egg white
• Beater/fork
• Bowl
• Towel

Instructions

1. Cut a fresh lemon in half. Squeeze all the juice from one half of it into a small bowl.

2. Remove the yolk from the egg. Beat the egg white and add it to the bowl with lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.

3. Rub the mixture over your face and neck with either your hands or a clean cloth. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes.

4. Rinse off the mixture with warm water. Blot your face dry with a clean, dry towel.

5. Follow with a cool water rinse to close pores. Dry your face the same way, by blotting with a dry, clean towel.

Tips & Warnings

• Use this treatment once a week to keep skin healthy and clear.

• Don't use this treatment daily or you risk drying out your skin.
