FAQ:
Q: Is it safe to use lemon on my skin daily?
A: Lemon is acidic and can cause irritation if used excessively. Limit use to a few times per week and always do a patch test.
Q: Can I use this mixture on sensitive skin?
A: Sensitive skin may react to lemon’s acidity. Test on a small skin area before full application or dilute the lemon juice further.
Q: Will Vaseline clog my pores?
A: Vaseline forms a protective barrier but is non-comedogenic, so it generally won’t clog pores. However, combine it with lemon cautiously if you have acne-prone skin.
