Vaseline has long been used for skin, but once you combine it with lemon, you can get a sensational facial product that can clear blemishes and brighten skin tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaseline has been used for decades for its moisturizing and skin-protecting benefits. This ointment actually has many more properties than we think. Dr.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Myriam Cohen\u00a0\u00a0, a pharmacist, explains the benefits<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaseline has the ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles thanks to its moisturizing properties. The skin then becomes firmer and smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Dr. Cohen, \u201cit helps retain the skin\u2019s water content and prevents the degradation process.\u201d However, it is necessary to pay attention to its comedogenic effect that could promote the appearance of blackheads and other imperfections. This is why it should only be applied to dry areas and should be avoided if you have oily or acne-prone skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaseline is thus a product that promotes ideal hydration for dry skin thanks to its oily texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The specialist also explains that \u201cit forms an impermeable layer on the surface of the skin that limits the elimination of water and prevents dehydration. It is a kind of anti-dehydrating agent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is no coincidence that lemon has always been used against cellular aging thanks to its richness in antioxidants. It is therefore even less surprising to find its use for beauty masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to its contributions, wrinkles and skin blemishes are reduced. Its protective effect is also due to its antibacterial properties. Impurities (blackheads, pimples or excess sebum) linked to external aggressions such as pollution or cold are therefore eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 A teaspoon of Vaseline
\u2013 A tablespoon of lemon juice<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Take a glass container
\u2013 Mix the Vaseline and your lemon juice until it forms a homogeneous paste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Before applying your cream, wash your face with water or your usual cleanser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 Massage your skin in circular movements with your fingertips, spreading the mask over your entire face and without touching your eyes.
\u2013 Leave it on overnight and rinse off the next day with warm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prefer an organic lemon to avoid the presence of pesticides. It should also be noted that lemon has photosensitizing effects, so it is important to apply it only at night and rinse the skin well before exposing yourself to the sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
