The lemon and honey mixture is really good for your skin. The lemon’s main components are alpha-hydroxy acid and citric acid. These acids clean up your skin from bacteria, and they also fight acne, and of course, help remove blackheads. Lemon also contains vitamin C which is very beneficial for the skin and last but not least, it gets rid of unwanted and excessive oil. As for the honey, it works as an antioxidant and antibacterial agent. It’s like a natural cleanser; it will help minimize your blackheads.
