Make an easy lemon rinse with just two ingredients. Use it on problem areas in the morning as a simple, refreshing treatment or a nice way to end the day.

Lemon is high in Vitamin C, with lots of great benefits to encourage healthy skin. It has astringent properties, making it especially great for oily skin.

Use diluted lemon juice on blackheads, acne, dark scars & age spots.
Leave on overnight and rinse in the morning.
Lemon juice is acidic and can sting a little on sensitive skin, so start with a concentration of 1:1 water and lemon juice. Increase lemon juice if your skin can take it.

Excessive use can dry skin, so 2-4 times a week is good. 
Avoid heavy sun exposure immediately after, as lemon juice can temporarily increase risk of sunburn.
Find real lemon peel in many of our products, like our Vitamin C Fresh Mask.

Cucumbers!
Hydrating cucumbers are cooling, high in vitamin c, and have a pH similar to that of skin so they help restore our skin’s natural protective barrier.

Cucumbers are high in silica as well which keeps healthy, plus they have astringent qualities that balance excess oil and minimize the appearance of pores.

One super easy way to use cukes is to cut very thin slices of chilled cucumber for a quick morning wipe. Just cut a fresh slice and rub around on your face.
Rinse after 5 minutes if desired.
You can also use cucumber-infused water as a refreshing morning toner.
Use fresh cucumber juice to mix any Simplecare Fresh Mask Mix or Mineral Mud  for a hydrating face or body mask.
