1 Tbsp (≈ 15 ml) fresh lemon juice (ideally freshly squeezed)
1 Tbsp (≈ 15 ml) raw (unprocessed) honey
Equipment
A small clean bowl
Measuring spoon (1 Tbsp)
Clean cotton pad or your clean finger or small brush
Lukewarm water and clean towel for rinsing
Moisturizer & sunscreen for after
Preparatory Steps
Patch test: On a small area of skin (for example inner forearm), apply the mixture and leave for 10-15 minutes, then rinse. Wait 24 hours to check for any irritation, redness, burning. If any occurs, do not use on your face/large area.
Choose a time when you will not be heading into direct sun right away; evening or night is better. Make sure you have your sunscreen ready for the next day.
Clean the area of brown spots: use a gentle cleanser, pat skin dry. Avoid using harsh exfoliants immediately before this.
