Ingredients 2 tablespoons Base: Extra virgin coconut oil or shea butter (the white base in the jar) 1 tablespoon Carrier Oil: Sweet almond oil or extra virgin olive oil (the liquid in the bottle) 1 teaspoon Raw Honey: For natural hydration and antibacterial benefits (the golden drizzle) 3 to 5 drops Fresh Lemon Juice: Use very sparingly for mild, natural AHA brightening. Preparation Steps Melt the Base: If using coconut oil or shea butter, gently melt it in a double boiler until it turns to liquid. Let it cool slightly until it is warm to the touch, not hot. Blend the Oils: Whisk in the almond or olive oil and the raw honey until the mixture is completely smooth. Add the Citrus: Stir in the few drops of fresh lemon juice. Mix vigorously until the ingredients are thoroughly emulsified. Store: Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight glass jar. Let it sit at room temperature until it solidifies into a creamy texture. Safety and Application Rules Patch Test First: Apply a tiny amount to your inner wrist or jawline for 24 hours to ensure you do not experience irritation from the lemon juice or oils. Night Use Only: Lemon juice causes phototoxicity, making your skin highly sensitive to sunlight. Only use this mixture at night, wash your face thoroughly the next morning, and wear sunscreen. Application: After cleansing your face, massage a pea-sized amount onto your skin. A small amount is sufficient.
