We have been cooped up in our houses for way too long. I guess this is one thing everyone will agree on. While it isn’t such a bad thing, it is still a little difficult. well, don’t worry. I can’t do anything about the quarantine, I can definitely give you ways to keep your skin glowing post-lockdown. This is once in a lifetime opportunity where you have all the time in the world to take care of your skin. And I think both men and women will benefit from a little self-care! So let us begin our journey to skin-care land, shall we?

BESAN WITH TURMERIC AND CURD:

No thanks extra oily skin, I have lots of pimples and resultant spots. It’s a drag, really. This face pack is tried and tested and I use it at least thrice a week. The results are slow, but not lost. It is cost-effective as well. So give this a try! Make a thick paste with besan, curd, and turmeric. You can also add a little rose water or aloe gel. I use aloe gel. Apply it on your face, scrub for two-three minutes then let it dry for 15 minutes. Wash it with cold water and voila! Say hi to smooth and glowing skin!

COFFEE AND HONEY:

Don’t waste precious coffee of making Dalgona which may or may not come out right! Drink latte and make a good ol’ coffee and honey scrub for your skin. Take 1 tbsp of coffee powder and one tbsp of honey, mix well. Apply this mix to your skin and leave it be for 10 mins. Wash and have your skin thank you. It is hydrating and helps rid you of acne scars.

MALAI/CURD WITH HALDI AND LEMON:

Take some Malai in a bowl, curd if you have oily skin. Along with a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of lemon juice, make a paste. Mix it well and apply on your skin for 10-15 mins. Wash it off with cold water. This is very hydrating for anyone with dry skin. Use curd if you have oily skin otherwise, pimples are on their way!

ALOE VERA, HONEY, AND CURD:

No skincare can be complete without aloe vera. It is healing and beneficial for the skin in multitudes. Take 2 tbsp of aloe vera gel, 1 tbsp each of curd and honey. Mix well and apply to your face. After 15 minutes of regenerating, your happy face will make you happy!

OATMEAL, HONEY, AND WATER:

Oatmeal is a superfood, both for your body and for your skin. It has a plethora of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Add it to a bit of honey and water to make a thick paste. Gently apply it on your face and leave it for 10 minutes or so before rinsing with water. Along with hydrating and nourishing your skin, this will also give you a radiant complexion.  Hello, glow!
