Ingredients
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pure honey
Preparation
- Dip the parsley in warm water and chop it finely. Crush the parsley with a mortar and pestle until you get a thick paste.
- Scrape the parsley paste into a small bowl and add the lemon juice and honey. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and then apply the mixture on the face.
- It is a good idea to wash your face thoroughly before using the mask. You can let it sit extra long in the areas that especially need treatment. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Lemon juice can cause irritation or a burning sensation, but usually only when you have impurities. It should only last a few seconds.
- It is important that you only use the mask in the evening, because the citric acid in lemon juice can have negative effects on the skin if exposed to sunlight.
- After the required time has elapsed, rinse the mask with warm water and apply a moisturizer.
- In case of acne, freckles or discoloration of the skin, it is best to apply the treatment twice a week.
- As with the previous treatment, you should apply the mask regularly to get the best results.
