How to Use Lemon and Aloe Vera for Skin:

Face Mask: Mix a few drops of lemon juice with aloe vera gel and apply to your face, leaving it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

Considerations:

Sensitivity: Lemon juice can be harsh on sensitive skin, so it's important to do a patch test first and dilute the lemon juice with aloe vera gel.
