Shopping for skincare products is one of our favourite things to do. However, there’s no denying that every kitchen holds the key to a great complexion. From battling dryness to dealing with dark circles, there are a multitude of benefits to using fresh produce. If you are looking to switching to the natural side or need a quick pick-me-up, check out the list below!
1. Cucumber
Whether you’ve spent too much time in the sun or developed a reaction to a product, cucumber is the cure. Place slices all across your face to cool and soothe your irritated skin.
2. Avocado
Turns out that avocado can be used for more things than just a guacamole dip. Whip up a quick face mask by mashing it up, to moisturise the heck out of your face.
3. Turmeric
Although the turmeric craze is just hitting the rest of the world, desi peeps know how magical this ingredient is. Since it is anti-inflammatory in nature, it works really well against acne.
4. Honey
As insane as it sounds, honey actually makes a great cleanser. It removes all the dirt and grime, without stripping your skin off its natural oils.
5. Potato
Ditch the fries and use potato slices for brighter eyes. Since it acts as a natural bleaching agent, it reduces the appearance of dark circles. You can even use it to lighten your underarms.
6. Tomato
Oily-skinned people need the goodness of tomatoes in their life. Not only will it regulate sebum production, but will also prevent the formation of pimples. Simply soak a cotton ball in tomato juice and swipe across your face.
7. Egg White
No pore strip matches up to an egg white mask. Packed with proteins, egg whites tighten pores and squeeze out blackheads to give you flawless skin.
8. Yoghurt
Why turn to harsh exfoliators when you’ve got some curd in the house? Due to the presence of lactic acid, yoghurt gets rid off dull, dry skin in no time.
9. Lemon
If you are looking for one, multi-purpose ingredient, lemons are your best bet. From toning and brightening skin, to fighting against blackheads and zits, this zesty little thing does it all.
