Note: I would recommend squeezing the juice from the lemon into a bowl. Strain any pulp or seeds from the juice.  Measure the lemon juice using teaspoons or tablespoons. Then based on this measurement, add in the same amount of honey and olive oil to your lemon mixture.

Place a small funnel over the top of your snap-top bottle and pour the mixture into your bottle. After the bottle is fully used up, clean the container well with soap.

DIY Lemon & Honey Facial

1. Add equal parts fresh lemon juice, pure olive oil, and honey to a clean snap top bottle. Shake to combine. The mixture will separate over time so shake well before using.

To use: Pour about a quarter size amount of the mixture into your hand. Rub the mixture all over your face. Let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse the mixture off with warm water, using a clean washcloth to gently massage it off.
