How to use it for optimal effect?
The right time: evening
To fully enjoy the benefits of this treatment, apply it in the evening, after thoroughly cleansing your face. Why? Because the skin naturally regenerates during the night and is more receptive to nourishing treatments.
Instructions for use
- Take a small amount of the cream.
- Gently massage your face with circular, upward movements, paying particular attention to dry areas and wrinkles (eye area, mouth, forehead).
- Leave on overnight without rinsing.
Frequency of use
Apply this treatment 3 to 4 times a week for visible results. If your skin is sensitive or acne-prone, start with weekly use and adjust as tolerated.
The benefits: visibly transformed skin
Intense hydration
Vaseline retains water in the epidermis, ensuring supple and plump skin.
Luminous complexion
Lemon gently exfoliates and helps fade dark spots, giving the complexion a radiant glow.
Natural anti-aging
Vitamin E and rosehip oil work together to fight the signs of aging and reduce fine lines.
Appeasement and repair
Aloe vera soothes irritation, deeply hydrates and stimulates collagen production for firmer skin.
Precautions to take
- Pre-test: Before applying to the entire face, test on a small area of skin to ensure there is no reaction.
- Sun protection: Lemon can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Be sure to apply sunscreen the next morning to prevent dark spots.
- Storage: To ensure freshness, use homemade cream within two weeks of preparation.
