Lemon juice might sometimes leave the skin dry and that is why there has to be another ingredient to counteract this effect, in this case honey which will prevent possible dryness and nourish the skin leaving it soft and rejuvenated.

To prepare it, you will need:

2 teaspoons of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of honey
7 oz of water

Mix the ingredients. If the mass is too thick, try adding a bit more water. Pour into previously prepared plastic bottle or jar. They have to be clean, so make sure they are washed well. Shake it. Keep in dry and dark place and apply few times a day. Wash off with water.
