• This is not recommended for people who suffer from rosacea, couperose and other vascular skin disorders. This is because honey dilates blood vessels. You can choose to replace honey with clay and you should mix it with the same ratio as the rest of the ingredients and water it down to the wanted texture.
• If you have sensitive skin, you should either skip the lemon juice or add more honey, to make the mixture thicker.
• Lemons can make your skin photosensitive, so you should prevent sun exposure for at least 10 hours, after using this mask.
