Oatmeal Porridge And A Face Mask

Oatmeal is a great exfoliating agent that will help to naturally remove the dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and reveal fresh and glowing skin. This is also good if you have pigmentation, because it can make your complexion more even-toned and smoother. You can make your own face mask with this by choosing to add banana, milk, strawberry, rose water or honey to it.

The Good Ol’ Besan To Combat Tanning

If you’re worried about the after-effects of tanning on the skin, the very desi besan, or gram flour, can give you great results. A lot of people also love to use it for its oil controlling properties, which also helps to prevent acne and breakouts. Using this regularly on your skin will add a natural healthy glow and improve complexion too.

Who says cocoa is just good to eat or drink? Did you know of the many benefits of cocoa for your skin? The thing is – this powerful source of antioxidants is a luxurious way of fighting off any free radical damage on the skin that will help to delay the signs of fine lines, wrinkle and ageing. The caffeine in cocoa will also help to naturally tone up and firm the skin, which can prevent sagging.

ACV – Not Just For Weight Loss

Everybody is talking about the weight loss effects of apple cider vinegar, but it is also great as a toner! The natural alpha-hydroxy acids in ACV will remove dirt and unclog your pores, which can make your skin healthier and radiant, and also reduce chances of breakout.
