A recipe with lemon and Vaseline to eliminate wrinkles, dry skin and have a luminous face

It is entirely possible to have radiant skin with the help of ingredients at hand. There are probably two products in your home with properties that might surprise you. These are lemon and Vaseline. The health benefits of lemon need no further introduction, many are still unaware of its beauty virtues. Because it turns out that when combined with Vaseline it forms an excellent shield for the skin and protects it from pollution and other environmental aggressions. 

Vaseline has long been used for skin, but once you combine it with lemon, you can get a sensational facial product that can clear blemishes and brighten skin tone.

The benefits of Vaseline

Vaseline has been used for decades for its moisturizing and skin-protecting benefits. This ointment actually has many more properties than we think. Dr.   Myriam Cohen  , a pharmacist, explains the benefits

An excellent anti-wrinkle

Vaseline has the ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles thanks to its moisturizing properties. The skin then becomes firmer and smoother.

According to Dr. Cohen, “it helps retain the skin’s water content and prevents the degradation process.” However, it is necessary to pay attention to its comedogenic effect that could promote the appearance of blackheads and other imperfections. This is why it should only be applied to dry areas and should be avoided if you have oily or acne-prone skin.

Effective against dry skin.

Vaseline is thus a product that promotes ideal hydration for dry skin thanks to its oily texture.

The specialist also explains that “it forms an impermeable layer on the surface of the skin that limits the elimination of water and prevents dehydration. It is a kind of anti-dehydrating agent.”

The benefits of lemon

It is no coincidence that lemon has always been used against cellular aging thanks to its richness in antioxidants. It is therefore even less surprising to find its use for beauty masks.

Thanks to its contributions, wrinkles and skin blemishes are reduced. Its protective effect is also due to its antibacterial properties. Impurities (blackheads, pimples or excess sebum) linked to external aggressions such as pollution or cold are therefore eliminated.
