Turmeric is a skincare powerhouse with antioxidant benefits; use in face packs for glowing skin
The first wonder ingredient is the humble haldi, or turmeric. This golden spice is a staple in Indian cooking. More than taste, it's a powerhouse of skin benefits. Turmeric contains curcumin, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. Now, what does this mean for your skin?
It helps fight acne, reduces inflammation, and brightens your complexion naturally. How to include it? Make a simple face pack by mixing turmeric with yogurt or honey. Apply it for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off. Remember, a little goes a long way, because turmeric can stain!
Apart from face packs, you can add a pinch of turmeric to your milk or warm water and drink it daily for overall health and glowing skin. So, don't just use it in your dal; give your skin a haldi hug! It helps you achieve that radiant wedding glow year-round.
Honey: natural humectant with antibacterial properties for glowing skin
Next on our list is the ever-reliable honey. This sweet nectar is more than just a sweetener; it's a natural humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture. This is amazing for those with dry or dehydrated skin.
Honey also has antibacterial properties, making it an effective treatment for acne and blemishes. To use it, simply apply a thin layer of raw honey to your face, leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse with warm water. Make sure you're using pure, raw honey for best results.
You can also try mixing honey with lemon juice for a brightening effect (but be careful if you have sensitive skin as lemon can be irritating). Honey keeps your skin feeling soft, supple and youthful. So, swap your sugary treats for this skin-loving alternative.
Besan: a natural exfoliant for glowing, oil-free skin
Besan, or gram flour, is another kitchen staple with incredible skincare benefits. It's a natural exfoliant that gently removes dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath. Besan also helps to absorb excess oil, making it ideal for oily or acne-prone skin.
To use it, mix besan with water or yogurt to form a paste. Apply it to your face and gently scrub in a circular motion. Rinse off with water. For added benefits, you can add a pinch of turmeric or a few drops of lemon juice. Besan is a wonderful ingredient for achieving a natural, healthy glow.
It's the go-to remedy for many aunties. So, embrace this age-old secret. It can give your skin a natural lift and improve your skin. It can even tackle tanning and pigmentation with consistent use!
Sandalwood skincare benefits for glowing skin
Santoor hero, Chandan also called sandalwood is more than just a fragrant wood; it's a skincare superhero. It has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for soothing irritated skin and reducing redness.
Sandalwood is also known for its ability to brighten skin and reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes. You can find sandalwood powder at most Indian grocery stores. Mix it with rose water or milk to form a paste and apply it to your face. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off.
The calming aroma of sandalwood is an added bonus; it’s like a mini spa treatment in your own home! Sandalwood is an essential addition to your beauty routine, especially during hot summer! You can even make sandalwood oil and use it for your skin or body.
Aloe vera: versatile skincare hero for soothing, healing, and hydrating skin

Aloe vera gel is incredibly soothing and hydrating, making it perfect for dry, irritated or sunburned skin. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which can help to heal wounds and reduce acne. Simply apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to your skin and let it absorb.

Coconut oil: versatile skincare treasure for healthy, glowing skin

You can use coconut oil as a makeup remover, moisturizer, or even as a hair mask. However, be cautious if you have oily skin, as coconut oil can be comedogenic (meaning it can clog pores). It's best to use unrefined, virgin coconut oil for the most benefits.
