Lemons are magical for skin care! they slow down the aging process, they firm, cleanse and regenerate the skin. Cosmetic Industries have used lemons in the preparation of almost all of their beauty products. you can give your skin the same benefit with very little effort, and at a fraction of the cost, by using homemade preparations. I have done it! You can do it too!
Preparation for oily Skin
Ingredients: 1 1/2 oz. (50ml) cold-pressed jojoba oil, 6 drops lemon oil, 4 drops cypress oil.
Application: Blend the jojoba oil with the lemon and cypress oil. Gentle massage your face with this mixture, every morning and night.
Note: Jojoba oil and avocado oil are especially easy on the skin, thus making them most suitable as vehicles in skin care products with essential oils. they never usually turn rancid, when you store them in dark bottles at room temperature.
The size of the lemon does not indicate how much juice it will yield. small lemons with a thick peel contain more juice than varieties with thick peels and comparatively little flesh. (I like to squeeze the lemons, to test how juice-filled they are, if they have that slight softness to them , they may be carrying a little more juice than the harder ones).
