The mixture is also used on nails and cuticles. Massaging a tiny amount onto cuticles can boost moisture, while lemon may help reduce surface staining on nails.
To make it, mix one tablespoon of plain Vaseline with one teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Apply a thin layer to clean skin for 10–15 minutes, then rinse and moisturize. Use only a few times per week.
Always patch test first, as lemon can irritate sensitive skin and increase sun sensitivity. Apply at night and use sunscreen during the day. While not a miracle cure, this simple blend can be a budget-friendly addition to a balanced skincare routine.
