Skin Tip of the Day!

  1. Helpful skin tip of the day! How to lighten those unattractive post acne marks! As an acne sufferer, I know the feeling you get when that blemish that just cleared up leaves a ugly spot on your face. The spot may never go away, but you can help to make it less noticeable! Lemon juice is a great spot treatment for those marks. My method? Putting a good amount of your favorite face masque in your hand, adding natural or organic lemon juice to that, mixing it in, and applying it to your face in the shower. If you’re using very warm water, the steam has already opened your pores up, and using the lemon juice with your masque will help it to get deeper into your skin to some lower layers of your skin, diminishing the pigmentation of those marks, and helping you to have a more even and bright complexion! Don’t try this too often because lemons are acidic, and over use will take an effect on your skin, but as a once in a while spot treatment it works great!
