The age-old beauty agent is not just a good bleaching agent but also exfoliates your skin. However, make sure you use an effective sunscreen before you step out in the sun as lemon makes your skin photosensitive.
Lemon when added with honey serves as an excellent face mask for bleaching your skin and removing sun tan, naturally. Just apply the mixture for five to ten minutes before washing it off. You can see immediate results in the form of supple, clear skin. For longer results use the pack regularly, say once a week. Lemon also works wonders for acne problems. Just rub a few drops of lemon juice on your face with cotton ball. Rinse it off after a minute. Do the procedure quite regularly to see acne spots reduce gradually.
Tomatoes
We gorge on them, quite often, be it as pizza toppings, or in our traditional food items and salads. It is a proven fact that tomatoes are excellent hydrants due to high water content in them. But, a lesser known fact about tomatoes is that they are excellent astringents for your skin.
Rub a piece of tomatoes on your face evenly for removing acne scars. Gradually, they lighten the marks and with longer use, you can see the marks vanishing, completely. After a long day out in the sun and pollution, apply tomato juice to your face and rinse it off. You can feel your tired skin glowing and healthier. Try this method regularly to hydrate and clean your skin. Tomatoes give any type of skin a healthy glow. A tomato-and-avocado mask is great for combination skin (oily, normal, and dry) because it combines the astringent, blackhead- and oil-reducing benefits of tomatoes with the antiseptic and moisturizing properties of avocados.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a beauty aid that is totally harmless but presents excellent results. It is an economical and indigenous beauty aid that provides great results when used regularly.
For a face mask, use turmeric and sandalwood powder to make a smooth paste. Apply the paste on your face and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Wash it off with cold water.
For any type of skin infection apply turmeric and neem paste on the affected area. You can see definite results.
For wrinkles, apply turmeric and malai (milk cream) on the skin and around your eyes. The treatment will remove dark circle and lines around the eyes.
Applying turmeric regularly on the face during winters results in an enriched, glowing skin
