Can honey and lemon be used together safely?

Honey and lemon may be safe to use together if:

you have done a patch test of both ingredients and have not developed sensitivities to either ingredient
you know you won’t be spending time in the sun soon
you only use a small amount of lemon juice

Face mask recipe

If you have oily skin, the ingredients in this face mask may help absorb excess oil and tighten pores.

Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon of raw honey
One teaspoon of lemon juice
One egg white

Directions

Combine the ingredients in a bowl and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes. You’ll know it’s mixed well enough when the components are foamy.
Use your fingers or a small, clean brush to apply the mixture to your freshly washed face. Avoid the eye area when you apply it.
Apply as thick a mixture as possible without letting it drip.
Allow the mask to dry for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove it earlier if you feel the show has dried and tightened on your skin.
Rinse your skin with warm water or by using a soft, wet washcloth.
Pat your face dry. Apply a light moisturizer.

Other suggestions

You can use other combinations of lemon juice and honey to create face masks for different skin conditions. You’ll follow similar steps to the mask recipe listed above, just with different ingredients.

Mask for reducing skin inflammation and redness. Mix two tablespoons of honey, juice from one lemon slice, and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes.

The bottom line

Both honey and lemon are natural ingredients that have many healing properties. Of the two, honey is typically safer to use on your skin than lemon. It’s gentler, more nourishing, and less likely to cause a reaction.

Lemon is highly acidic and can cause skin irritations, dryness, and sun damage, especially if you have sensitive skin. The key to using lemon safely is only to use small amounts on your skin.

Also, be sure to do a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying either lemon or honey to your face. Do not use either ingredient if your skin becomes red, swollen, or itchy from the patch test.

According to research, lemon juice has the following properties:

Antioxidant. Lemon juice naturally contains vitamin C, an antioxidant that may help reduce skin damage and premature aging.
Astringent qualities. Due to its high pH levels, lemon can decrease oil on the skin and reduce inflammation.

Turmeric, sometimes called Indian saffron or the golden spice, is a tall plant that grows in Asia and Central America.

The turmeric on shelves and in spice cabinets is made of the ground roots of the plant. The bright yellow color of processed turmeric has inspired many cultures to use it as a dye. Ground turmeric is also a primary ingredient in curry powder.

Capsules, teas, powders, and extracts are some of the turmeric products available commercially.
