Benefit of Vaseline + Lemon Juice

_Lemon juice contains vitamin C and citric acid, which may help lighten dark spots and exfoliate dead skin cells.

_Avoid direct sun exposure after using lemon juice, as it can increase skin sensitivity and cause irritation or pigmentation.
_Not recommended for sensitive or acne-prone skin, as lemon juice can be too harsh.
_For added benefits, you can add a pinch of turmeric or a drop of rosehip oil.
