To get the most benefits from this cleanser, use full-fat yogurt instead of low-fat or non-fat.
To make this cleanser even more effective, place a warm, damp towel over your face for 1 to 2 minutes first, then apply the cleanser. Apply your usual moisturizer afterward. This will keep the lemon from being too drying.
If you don’t have a juicer, place a fine, mesh strainer over the jar first, then squeeze the lemon by hand.
Pull your hair back and away from your face to keep it clean.
The moisturizer will help prevent your skin from turning too dry. If you have oily skin, use a moisturizer specially formulated for oily skin.
Make sure that you are using plain, unscented Castile soap.
Do not use lemon fragrance oil or lemon extract. It is not the same thing.
Avoid using plastic soap dispensers. The essential oil in the soap will weaken the plastic over time.
Avoid your eyes when applying the face wash. You can store the face wash on the counter. It should last a few months, but if it starts to smell rancid before then, discard it.
You can use this as a toner as well.
