Top Three Lemon Face Mask Recipes for Fresh and Bright Skin

Let’s look at more benefits of green tea and turmeric:

Tips

1. It’s unlikely that the turmeric will stain your skin since we’re adding only a pinch. But if it does stain your face yellow, use a sugar facial scrub to remove the stain. It’s perfectly fine to skip turmeric if you don’t have any.
2. Coating your face with more than one layer simply softens and nourishes your face and lets the mask sink penetrate deeper into your pores. If you’re fine with one coat, store the mixture in the refrigerator for future use.
3. Gather your hair away from your face into a ponytail. To protect your hairline from the mask, wear a headband.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons green tea
• A pinch of turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions:

1. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix well.
2. Apply the lemon face mask to your face with a cotton ball. Let it dry for three minutes.
3. When the mask is dry, use another cotton ball to pat on another layer of the mixture and let dry for three minutes. Repeat the procedure until all of the face mask mixture is done. Let the final coat of the face mask settle for 10 minutes.
4. When the time is up, wash the mask off with cool water. Pat your face dry with a towel.

DIY Anti-Acne Egg White Lemon Face Mask

If you have oily, acne-prone skin, lemon juice and egg white are just what you need. Egg whites have long been used for tightening skin and shrinking large pores, which reduces the amount of sebum on your face. The egg white will also create a pH balance that will keep the lemon juice from irritating the acne on your face.

Tips

1. If you have severe and inflamed acne, 1/2 teaspoon is enough for your face mask as a lot of lemon juice can irritate and burn skin. If you’ve got mild acne, 1 teaspoon will help clear the pimples.
2. Excess face mask mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. If it starts smelling funky though, don’t use it anymore and toss it in the trash.
3. If the face mask starts burning your face severely, quickly rinse your face with cold water, and apply honey to cool down any redness and burning sensation.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg white
• 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (see tips to determine how much is right for your skin)

Directions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
2. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
3. Gently massage the face mask onto your clean face with circular motions. Let it dry for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. When the time is up, rinse the mask off with tepid water. Pat your face dry with a towel.
