How to Use:

Rinse: Wash off with warm water.
Moisturize: Follow up with a moisturizer to maintain softness.
This scrub can be used on both the face and body, providing a natural alternative to commercial exfoliants that often contain synthetic microbeads or harsh chemicals.
Precautions and Considerations
While the lemon and charcoal mixture offers numerous benefits, there are a few precautions to keep in mind to ensure safe and effective use:
Skin Sensitivity: Lemon is acidic and can be irritating, especially for those with sensitive skin. It’s advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the mixture to your entire face or body.
Dental Use: When using lemon and charcoal for teeth whitening, limit the application to once a week. The acidity of lemon can erode tooth enamel if used too frequently. Always rinse your mouth thoroughly after use to avoid any potential damage.
Avoid Open Wounds: Do not apply the lemon and charcoal mixture to open wounds or broken skin, as this could cause irritation or stinging.
