Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons Pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

Prep:

Combine the two ingredients in a small bowl and mix together well. Apply to your clean face and neck, avoiding the eye area, and let it sit on your skin for 25 minutes. Since this mask can be a bit messy, drape a towel around your shoulders and neck in case any drips. Lie down and relax while you enjoy this mask. Rinse off with warm water and gently pat your face dry with a soft towel. Apply an oil-free moisturizer to your face and neck to retain needed moisture in your skin.

Benefits:

Pure extra virgin olive oil is loaded with amazing antioxidants like Vitamin A and E that repair and refresh your skin that is damaged by acne, the sun, environmental reasons, cigarette smoke, and unhealthy eating habits, just to name a few. It works as a beautiful moisturizer for your skin without clogging your pores or causing you to break out. It is wonderful for the most sensitive of skin and you will love how soft and smooth your skin feels.

Lemon juice is a natural astringent that will help fight acne while helping to minimize scarring caused by acne. Your skin tone will be brighter and more even, leaving you glowing and radiant. Your skin will feel amazingly refreshed as well.
