Step-by-step preparation
Now for the fun part: preparing our homemade rejuvenating cream. Follow these simple steps and in no time you’ll have your own natural beauty treatment ready to use.
Preparing the mixture: In a small, clean container, preferably glass, pour the tablespoon of honey. Make sure it’s pure honey to get the most out of its moisturizing and nourishing properties.
Adding the baking soda: Add the teaspoon of baking soda to the honey. The baking soda will act as a gentle exfoliant, removing dead skin cells and allowing the other ingredients to penetrate the skin better.
Adding the lemon juice: Squeeze the juice of half a fresh lemon directly into the container with the honey and baking soda. Lemon, rich in vitamin C, will help stimulate collagen production and lighten dark spots.
Mixing until smooth: Using a small spoon, mix all the ingredients until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous cream. The texture should be fluid enough to easily apply to your face.
How to apply:
Once your homemade collagen cream is ready, it’s important to follow these steps to apply it correctly and get the best results.
Facial cleansing: Before bed, wash your face with your usual facial cleanser to remove any traces of makeup, dirt, or impurities. Gently pat dry with a clean towel.
Cream application: Apply a thin, even layer of the cream all over your face, carefully avoiding the eye area, as this skin is very delicate.
Application time: Leave the cream on for 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, the natural ingredients will work to nourish, exfoliate, and rejuvenate your skin.
Rinse: After 15 to 20 minutes, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. Make sure to completely remove any residue of the cream.
Repetition: Repeat this procedure every night for 10 consecutive days for visible and lasting results. Afterward, you can use it 2-3 times a week for maintenance.
