Lemon Goat Milk DIY mask!

Lemon Goat Milk DIY mask!
Here’s how it works: Both milk and lemon contain natural alpha hydroxy acids, but they also work in tandem – over a few hours – to really enhance the AHA content. The lemon juice curdles the milk, which causes the bacteria in the milk to go crazy producing lactic acid (the alpha hydroxy acid in question). After a while, you have a super charged AHA mask that costs pennies – literally.


    1-1/2 Tbsp goat milk
    1-2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
    1 small wedge of sliced lemon
    Small bowl

In your small bowl, combine the lemon juice and milk. Stir well, and dunk in the lemon wedge. Leave this on the counter (do NOT put this in the refrigerator, or you stop the bacterial process that you want). It will curdle and look funny; this is good. After 3-4 hours, spread it on your clean face and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse well.

(Note: Be careful for a few hours if you’re going out in the sun after this mask, as it will cause photosensitivity.)
