Steps

- Cleanse face with warm water and soft cloth.
- Mix the honey and lime juice together and massage into your face for 15 minutes. The sticky-turned-slippery is sublime. The lime peels away surface cells and the honey softens the skin.
- Wipe away the residue of honey with a wet, warm cloth. Pat dry.
- Neatly place the cucumber patches over your face and neck (covering eyes and mouth is optional). They feel cool while they tighten the skin and repenish moisture. leave on 20 minutes. Remove with warm water.
- Finishing with a light miosturizer is optional, but not necessary.
