1. Sandalwood

Sandalwood is great for toning and evening out your skin tone. It gives you that much-desired glow and also prevents aging. It does a great job in reducing acne and pimples as well, as it has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. I usually mix it with honey or rose water and put it on for about 15 mins.

2. Honey

Honey contains antioxidants and has skin soothing properties. I like to use it as a cleanser. All I do is take a dollop of purified honey and apply this evenly all over my face for about 5-10 mins, then I take a warm cloth and wipe it off. Easy-peasy! Also, honey acts as a natural moisturizer so it kills two birds with one stone. I always have an amazing skin day after using this.

3. Almond

Almonds are loaded with vitamin E, which helps in protecting us from cell damage and the harmful rays of the sun. It helps in preventing blackheads and giving your skin that youthful glow. I like to use it as a scrub. Add 2 teaspoons of almond powder in some milk and scrub those impurities away.

4. Rose Water

I usually use rose water as a face mist and trust me, ladies, you’re gonna be obsessed with this stuff! All you have to do is fill half a spray bottle with rose water or put in a few drops of rose essential oil and fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water, and spritz it whenever your skin feels dull. Fun tip - I like to keep my bottle in the refrigerator overnight, so I can spritz some of this ‘cool’ stuff in the morning, it wakes me up whilst giving me that fresh glow.

5. Fuller’s Earth

Fuller’s earth is a type of clay which contains a bunch of wonderful minerals. It is a popular ingredient in Indian beauty rituals. It has various benefits, it absorbs excess oil from skin, improves skin complexion, skin’s elasticity, leaving you with a clean, glowing and flawless skin. Fun tip – You can use it on your hair too, for a long shiny mane!

6. Green Tea

Green tea is well known for being rich in antioxidants. I like to use it as a steam facial. So, I make a pot of green tea, pour it in a large bowl, and then bend over this bowl with a towel over my head so that the steam doesn’t escape. I like to do this for about 15-20 mins, and then wash my face with cold water. This will help detoxify your pores and give you a glowing skin. I love to do this in the winter!

7. Orange Essential Oil

This next remedy is simple yet so effective! I like to put a few drops of pure orange essential oil in my night cream and it instantly adds a bunch of skin benefits to it, like reducing dark spots, age spots, skin discoloration and helps even out your skin tone gradually. Plus, it smells delicious!

I hope you liked these remedies. Do you think you will try any of these?
