Answer 2

Natural citric acid from fruits like limes or lemon can be beneficial to help curing acne and lightening acne scars when applied topically. Do not use citric acid if you are allergic. Side effects of citric acid use on the skin include slight burning, tingling, and temporary redness. It is important to test all homemade beauty products on a small patch of skin several hours before using the product on your face. The underside of your forearm is an appropriate spot.

Citric Acid and Milk Mask for Acne-Prone SkinTo brighten oily skin and get a similar effect to that of a light chemical peel, try a milk mask that combines citric and lactic acids to slough away dead cells and even out skin tone. To make this mask, combine 1/4 cup low-fat milk, 2 tablespoons citric acid powder, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Stir until the ingredients are blended and the powder has dissolved and then apply the mixture to dry skin. Let the mask dry for 15 minutes - it will begin to tighten and crack, so sit still - and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Citric Acid Peel for Clogged PoresA rubbery peeling mask penetrates deep into pores and sucks out dirt and oil as it dries, leaving skin softer, cleaner and brighter in appearance. Stir together 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup Orange Juice, 2 tablespoons citric acid powder, and a packet of unflavored Gelatin in a saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring constantly until the gelatin and citric acid powder fully dissolve. Transfer the mixture into a heat-safe bowl and refrigerate for 25 minutes. Apply a thin layer of the mask to dry skin and let it dry for 30 minutes. Peel off gently, starting at the outside edges of the mask. Citric Acid Scrub for Uneven Skin ToneTo attack areas of uneven skin tone or roughness, a citric acid scrub leaves skin feeling rejuvenated and soft. Combine 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons rolled oats, and 1 tablespoon citric acid powder in a small bowl. Stir until the ingredients are mixed and then apply the scrub to damp, just-cleansed skin. Scrub gently in a circular motion with your fingers for up to two minutes or until you experience a slight tingle. Rinse with cool water.
