DIY skincare blend shown in the image, combining Vaseline, baby oil, turmeric, and lemon:
Ingredients Needed
- Vaseline (Original Healing Jelly): Acts as a base to lock in moisture.
- Johnson’s Baby Oil: Softens and nourishes the skin.
- Fresh Lemon: Provides a source of vitamin C and brightening properties.
- Turmeric Powder: Offers antioxidants to help brighten and even out skin tone.
Step-by-Step Instructions - Prepare the Bowl: Place a clean, small mixing bowl on a flat surface.
- Add the Base: Scoop out a small amount (about 1 to 2 teaspoons) of Vaseline into the bowl.
- Incorporate the Additives: Add a small pinch of turmeric powder, a few drops of fresh lemon juice, and a few drops of baby oil.
- Mix Until Smooth: Stir the mixture thoroughly with a small spoon or spatula until it forms a uniform, smooth paste or cream.
- Patch Test & Apply:
- Tip: Because lemon and turmeric can sometimes cause sensitivity or staining, perform a patch test first.
- Apply a thin layer of the mixture to clean skin or specific target areas, making sure to completely avoid the sensitive eye area.
- Rest and Rinse: Leave the mixture on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
