Lemon Facial Mask


Lemon Facial Mask

2 tablespoons sour cream

1 teaspoon finely ground oatmeal

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 drop lemon essential oil



Mix the sour cream, oatmeal, lemon juice and essential together in a bowl. To use, massage over clean face and neck skin and the rest for 10 minutes . Rinse well with warm water and follow with toner and moisturizer.Always use Lemon Facial Mask immediately for best results -- the lemon juice will cause the sour cream to curdle if it is not used quickly.
