Because it helps remove dead skin cells and exposes a smoother, brighter complexion, exfoliation is an essential component in every skincare regimen. A mild but efficient exfoliator may be made by mixing sugar with the lemon and charcoal combination.
Use instructions:
To make a gritty paste, combine sugar, activated charcoal, and lemon juice in equal proportions.
Instructions: Apply the paste to your skin by gently massaging it in circular strokes.
Rinsing: Use warm water for washing.
Apply a moisturizer afterward to keep the skin feeling smooth.
Unlike conventional exfoliants, which often include synthetic microbeads or harsh chemicals, this scrub is gentle enough to use on the face as well as the body.
Things to keep in mind and avoid
While there are numerous advantages to using the charcoal and lemon combination, there are also certain safety measures to follow:
Use of lemon and charcoal for teeth whitening: use no more than once weekly. Too much lemon juice, due to its acidity, may wear down dental enamel. To prevent any harm, always rinse your mouth well after usage.
Because of its acidity, lemon may irritate even the most delicate skin. Before applying the combination to your full body or face, it’s recommended to do a patch test on a small area of skin.
To avoid irritation or stinging, keep the lemon-charcoal combination away from open wounds and injured skin.
