Once done, apply the mixture to the affected part of the facial skin and cover it with a warm towel for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. Make sure to repeat the process once a week for a couple of months. If you have sensitive skin, then dilute the lemon juice with a little water before using it.
