While I was talking to my mom yesterday she inquired from me in a concerned tone whether or not I still use the magic potion she used to prepare for me during winters. This potion which she referred is kind of a skin tonic I can say, it was a regular thing in my home but during winters it was a must. At home during winters we love to sit in the sun and thus get tanning issues, so we used this potion regularly to remove tan and get glowing and fair skin. It also makes the skin soft and prevents drying and cracking of the skin.
But since few years being involved in so many other things, I somehow forgot about it altogether. Today I made sure I make some for myself and also write about it 🙂

So for this potion you would need lemon juice, rose water, glycerin. Mix 1 portion of lemon juice and 1 portion of rose water to 1/2 portion of glycerin and store it in a clean glass bottle. You can increase the amount of glycerin and make it equal to lemon if you want to make it more thick, I find the potion very sticky for me if I add more glycerin. I generally make the quantity which lasts me for atleast 2 weeks and then again make the fresh lot because the lemon starts to smell after that. You can even add 4-5 drops of almond oil to it to make it stay longer or even refrigerate it for that matter.
You can apply this potion anywhere, on your face, hands, feet but make sure you avoid stepping out in dust or sun after you have applied it. It is always better if you apply it during night time after washing with a soap. People who are sensitive to lemon or have acne issue should test it for few days on their hands and then use it accordingly on their face.
