Why does this duo work so well?
Simply because lemon stimulates while petroleum jelly soothes. One activates, the other protects. Together, they form a complete homemade treatment, perfect for stressed skin or skin exposed to daily aggressions.
Their strengths in detail:
- Radiance restored : lemon brings light back to the face.
- Long-lasting hydration : Vaseline traps moisture in the superficial layers of the skin.
- Even complexion : light spots visibly fade with regular use.
- Immediate comfort : no more tightness after rinsing.
Use once or twice a week, depending on your skin's needs. The perfect time? After showering, when pores are open, to maximize results.
