Your Kitchen Holds the Secrets to Better Beauty, and Women Use Them Every Day
Turmeric, cream, gram flour, lemon and honey from your own kitchen can brighten, nourish and moisturise the skin, with no chemicals at all.
Most women think of the kitchen only as the place where meals are cooked. But every kitchen hides much more than food, and knowing about it can help you stay healthy as well as beautiful. Some experts believe that many natural ingredients already in the kitchen work as excellent beauty products. Things like turmeric, malai (milk cream), besan (gram flour), lemon and honey give the skin a natural glow, nourishment and moisture, and they cleanse it deeply and keep it healthy without any chemicals. Here are a few things worth knowing about these kitchen beauty secrets and how best to use them.
Cream, milk and gram flour
Milk, cream and gram flour from the kitchen are very good for the skin. Gram flour helps remove dead skin cells, and mixed with cream or milk it becomes an excellent natural moisturiser that leaves the skin soft. Turmeric, the most prized spice in the kitchen, has antibacterial properties that help clear acne. Honey moisturises the skin and gives it a natural glow. Lemon, available almost all year round, works as a natural bleach and helps reduce dark patches and tanning. It works best when always mixed with another ingredient, such as rose water or honey.
Rice flour
Experts say rice flour works as an exfoliator. It cleanses the skin deeply and brightens the complexion, and it can be used in any season. Tomatoes, used in the kitchen as a vegetable, can also enhance your looks: the juice of ripe tomatoes is said to be highly effective at tightening pores and controlling excess oil on the skin.
Aloe vera and coconut oil
Coconut oil and fresh aloe vera gel are excellent for restoring dry skin, soothing irritation and nourishing the skin overnight. Used regularly, they keep improving your complexion.
