Avocado stimulates collagen production , which aids in cell regeneration. Avocado is also loaded with anti-inflammatory hydrating fats that won’t clog pores. The honey is antibacterial , while the lemon juice lightens hyperpigmentation.
Mash one ripe avocado until smooth, mix in 1 tablespoon of honey and squeeze the half lemon. Mix together thoroughly, and apply as a spot treatment or to larger acne-prone areas. If you have sensitive skin, use less lemon or skip it altogether. Leave on for 5–10 minutes.
A caution when using lemon juice: Although lemon has lightening and brightening qualities, it can also make the skin photosensitive . Preferably use at nighttime due to photosensitivity of lemon, rinse your face thoroughly afterward, and be prepared to use a zinc oxide 30+ SPF sunscreen if you’ll be out in the sun the next day.
