2. Raw Milk

Raw milk contains lactic acid that acts as an exfoliator, which further helps in boosting your skin health and induces natural glow. All you need to do is to apply raw milk on your face with cotton and rub it gently. Let it stay for about 15 minutes before washing it off.


3. Turmeric

Turmeric is another traditional favourite when it comes to skin care and beauty. The curcumin present in turmeric helps protect the skin cells from free radical damage and can even slow down the signs of ageing like dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. Turmeric can help restore your natural glow and can even turn out to be quite beneficial for uneven skin tone and sun tan. In order to improve uneven skin tone and make your skin look bright, mix one teaspoon of honey, one teaspoon of milk and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric to make a quick face pack. Leave it on for 25 minutes and then wash off. Repeat the procedure three to four times a week till you see results.

4. Raw Honey

Honey is a fantastic moisturiser and works wonders on patches of dry skin. The vitamins present in honey also help even out skin tone. You can use it to soften up your knees and elbows, even chapped lips. During the cold winter months, just rub some honey onto your face and wash off after 30 minutes

5. Besan

Besan is a natural cleanser. It helps absorb excess oil and dirt deposits on the skin and gives you a naturally glowing skin. Besan masks are often paired with other skin exfoliating ingredients like milk or yogurt. For a glowing skin you can make this mask at home. Take the pulp out of the tomato and mix with besan and lemon juice. Apply it on your face and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes (till it dries). Rinse off with cold water.
