How do I make my complexion flaw less like those models?
I will make an honest confession here. I have spent thousands of rupees and tried a number of beauty products that promised to clear my pimples and other skin problems throughout these years and made a big hole in my pocket. But the results were futile. Only then I realized that the there is nothing as economical and as effective for the betterment of your skin like the ingredients found in your mom’s kitchen. Oh Yes! No Kidding!

1. Sandalwood Face Mask
Ingredients:
- Sandalwood
- Raw Milk
- Clean but rough surface
Method: Take a piece of sandal wood and rub it against a slightly coarse surface to get its paste. Mix this paste with raw milk. Spread it generously over your face, and wait for it to dry.
‘Boring!’ yeah, waiting for a face mask to dry can be boring. So, just turn on your laptop go through the blogs on fashion and style and gather some information on the latest styles trends (well, now waiting won’t be that boring).
2. Ginger & Honey Paste
Ingredients:
- Ginger

Method: You may also choose to apply a paste of ginger on your pimples. But ginger juice can cause burning sensations. So, tease this paste with a tea spoon of honey and spread it on your face. This can be done every day, as it is completely natural. Ginger juice will help you get rid of the pimples and honey will moisturize your skin.
3. Lemon & Honey Serum
Ingredients:
- Lemon

- A bowl and a teaspoon
Method: Squeeze half a lemon into a bowl. Add a teaspoon of honey and mix the two into a diluted solution or serum. Apply this serum on your face. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes and rinse it off with flowing water. You will be surprised to see, how easily honey gets washed off despite its sticky appearance and feel. Lemon has abundance of Vitamin C which is beneficial for all skin types. It is an excellent exfoliator and also has skin whitening properties. Oh, it is also works as an astringent. To be honest, lemon is my personal go-to solution for all kinds of skin troubles.

Now just bad this cotton on the affected area. Make sure that you use a mild face wash to wash the garlic juice off your face.

Homemade scrubs to remove pimple marks
Rice Scrub
Ingredients:
- Rice powder
- Milk
- Ground nut or Almonds
Method: Rice powder is the best homemade scrub I have ever used. Make a fine rice powder for scrubbing your face and a little coarse one for the rest of your body. You may mix some ground nut or almond powder with this rice powder to make sure you moisturize your skin while you scrub it. I would rather mix the rice powder with milk than water to get best results. Use this scrub weekly during bath for best results.
2. Orange Peel Scrub
Ingredients:
- Orange peels
- Rose water
Method: During winters you may also grind out dried orange peels. They act an excellent exfoliators and are a great source of Vitamin C. Make a paste of it by mixing it with rose water. You can use it all over your body. This works best to soften hard elbows and knees. You could also make rose water at home.

By the way, pimples or break outs are not only a topical infection but are also the outcome of what you put inside your tummy. So, the first thing you need to do is to cleanse your internal system. For a clear skin you have to make sure you have a clean lifestyle.
Replace your coffee with green tea. Green tea for skin works wonders. It reduces cancer and diabetes to a great extent. It also helps in reducing fats. With its anti – oxidant properties, green tea works as an excellent age defensing drink.
Avoid junk food – as much as you can. The first thing you need to consume every morning is half a liter of luke warm water with one whole lemon squeezed into it. For taste, you may also add some honey. This solution will not only help you in getting clear skin faster and naturally but also help you reduce weight (that is if you are aiming at reducing some extra flab!)
