Best Home Remedies For Clearer Complexion
Papaya Face Mask
Did you know that papaya contains an enzyme called papain that sloughs of dead skin cells? Therefore it makes a great exfoliant. Peel a raw papaya and grate it until you have about half a cup of grated papaya.
To this add a tablespoon or two of fresh yogurt and mix well. Apply this papaya and yogurt mix over your face and neck and allow it to remain for 20-25 minutes. Wash off with cold water. You will immediately notice that your skin looks more radiant and clean.
Orange Peel And Yogurt Mask
Grind some dry orange peel into a coarse powder. Now in a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of the orange peel powder with a tablespoon of yogurt. Once you have a smooth mixture, apply the mixture in an even layer on your face.
Once the face mask dries off, wash off with water. This is an excellent face mask for people with oily skin. This mask not only removes excess oil and dirt from skin, but it also reduces pigmentation.
Chickpea Flour (Besan) And Rose Water Pack
In a small bowl combine two tablespoon of chickpea flour (besan) with just enough rose water so that you have a thick paste. Apply this all over your face and neck and allow it to dry.
Once the mask is dry, moisten your fingers with rose water and scrub the mask off. You will notice that your complexion has brightened considerably.
Lemon And Sugar Scrub
Combine the juice of a large lemon with a tablespoon of granulated sugar. Rub this gently over your facial skin in gentle circular motion.
This homemade scrub is quite effective in reducing tan and getting rid of blackheads and whiteheads. With regular use of this scrub you will notice that your skin becomes soft, smooth and clearer.
Strawberry And Cucumber Mask
