Final Tips
-
Patch test first: Natural acids (lemon) and spices (turmeric) can irritate sensitive skin.
-
Mind staining: Turmeric and beetroot may leave a temporary tint—remove with a milk-soaked cotton pad if needed.
-
Storage: Keep balms in a cool, dark spot and use within two weeks (refrigeration extends freshness).
-
Sun protection: Brightening formulas reveal fresh skin layers—always apply broad-spectrum SPF during the day.
