Home Remedies

1. Green Tea Water And Honey Face Pack

What You Need

• 1 cup of green tea water (cooled down)
• 2 spoons of rice flour
• ½ spoon of honey

What You Need To Do

1. Mix the above ingredients and apply the paste to your skin. Leave it on for about 20 minutes or more, or till the mask dries completely.

2. Before washing off the mask with water, make sure you massage in circular motions. This is important as it removes the dead skin cells and evens out the skin tone.

3. Wash your face with cold water. This gives you a fairer and even skin tone.

When You Need To Do This

In the morning, before going for a bath.

Why This Works

The antioxidants in green tea water will flush out the free radicals and toxins from your skin (1). Adding honey will help protect your face from bacteria. It also improves the texture of the skin and keeps it moisturized (2). Rice flour acts as an excellent scrub.

3. Wash off with cold water and pat dry with a soft and clean towel.

When You Need To Do This

In the morning before taking a bath.

Why This Works

Oats reduce inflammation and heal the skin. Oats also work as exfoliators and clear off the oil, grime, and impurities present on the skin (3). Lemon juice helps lighten the skin tone as it is rich in vitamin C.
