Always perform a patch test before using this mixture on larger areas of skin to check for any adverse reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin.
You can store any leftover mixture in a small airtight container and refrigerate it for up to a week. Make sure the container is clean to prevent contamination.
Use this remedy at night before bed to allow your skin to fully absorb the benefits without sun exposure.
For best results, apply the Vaseline and lemon mixture 1-2 times a week, especially if you're targeting dry patches or dull skin.
Variants:
For Brightening Dark Spots: Add a few drops of honey to the mixture. Honey's antibacterial and moisturizing properties complement the brightening effects of lemon while nourishing the skin.
For Cracked Heels: Swap the Vaseline with a thick foot balm, and use lemon to exfoliate your heels. After application, cover your feet with socks and leave it on overnight for soft and smooth feet by morning.
For Acne-Prone Skin: If you have acne-prone skin, substitute lemon juice with aloe vera gel. Aloe vera helps to soothe and reduce inflammation, while Vaseline locks in moisture without clogging pores.
