3. **Application:**

### **Precautions:**
1. **Patch Test:** Before using this cream on your face, do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any reactions.

3. **Sun Protection:** If you use lemon juice, make sure to apply sunscreen during the day, as lemon can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
