Ingredients Needed

To create this simple yet powerful skin treatment, you’ll only need two ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon of Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
  • Half a fresh lemon

These ingredients are easy to source and highly affordable, making this an ideal option for a DIY skin care treatment.

How to Prepare the Vaseline and Lemon Mix

Follow these detailed instructions to create the perfect Vaseline and lemon mix for glowing skin.

Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area and Ingredients

Ensure you have a clean, organized space to prepare your skin care mix. Gather a small, clean bowl, a spoon, a sharp knife, and a clean mixing spatula if available.

Step 2: Extract Lemon Juice

  1. Cut the lemon in half.
  2. Squeeze out the juice from one half into a small bowl, being cautious to remove any seeds that may fall into the bowl.
  3. Discard the lemon seeds and keep the juice in the bowl.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

  1. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of Vaseline and place it into the bowl with the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  2. Using a clean spoon or spatula, mix the Vaseline and lemon juice together thoroughly until they are fully blended. The lemon juice may separate at first, but continuous mixing will result in a smooth, creamy consistency.

Step 4: Apply the Mix to Clean Skin

  1. Cleanse Your Skin: Wash your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup.
  2. Apply the Mixture: Take a small amount of the Vaseline and lemon mix and apply it to your face in gentle, circular motions. Focus on areas where you have dryness, dark spots, or uneven texture.
  3. Massage Gently: Use your fingertips to massage the mixture into your skin for a few minutes, allowing the lemon’s natural acids to penetrate while the Vaseline locks in moisture.

Step 5: Leave it on for a Limited Time

Because lemon is a potent ingredient, we recommend leaving this mix on for 10–15 minutes only. This duration is enough for the skin to absorb the benefits without risking irritation from prolonged lemon exposure.

Step 6: Rinse Off the Mixture

  1. After 10–15 minutes, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove the mixture.
  2. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Step 7: Moisturize and Protect

Once you’ve removed the mixture, follow up with a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin supple. Because lemon can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen if you plan to go outside during the day.
