Simply mix lemon with charcoal to save money

Why does it work?

• Lemonis naturally rich in vitamin C, a recognized antioxidant that helps revive the complexion’s radiance and reduce certain imperfections. It is also known for its slightly astringent effect, which is useful for tightening pores and giving a fresh look.
• Activated charcoal, on the other hand, is very effective at absorbing impurities: it captures excess sebum, residues and small particles that dull the skin. Together, they form a duo that is at once purifying, brightening and economical.
