Benefits of Ingredients
Turmeric
Being a spice, turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components. It not only brings a natural glow to our skin but also revives it. It provides a solution to major skin issues like acne and the scars caused by it.
Gram flour
Besan or gram flour is readily found in India. It is a traditional beauty home remedy that is found to cure many problems like removing tanning. Since our childhood, our grandma used to pamper us with besan ubtan for our skin.
Gram flour has brightening properties and contains zinc, which helps in curing acne problems. Some major problems solved by applying gram flour or besan are as follows:
- Reduces oiliness from skin.
- Fights acne.
- Exfoliates dead skin.
- Acts as an epilator.
- Works as great de-tan
- Fights dandruff.
- Nourishes hair.
Rice flour
Rice flour contains ingredients like ferulic acid and allantoin, which acts as a sunscreen. It is also beneficial in removing suntan.
Work, a hectic schedule, using many gadgets, and an unhealthy sleep schedule result in dark circles. So, rice flour helps to deal with the dark patch under our eyes. Also, it helps in removing dead skin and makes skin look fresh.
Rice has sebum-absorbing properties and makes our skin clear and smooth. Amino acids and vitamins present in rice flour help brighten skin. Many of us use expensive day/night creams or pay for expensive facials for skin lightening and whitening. Why not use a natural product that comes at no cost to you?
Wondering how to get rid of blemishes and pimples? Why not try rice flour once and see the results? Rice flour has countless benefits. Some of them are:
- Helps in sleek level skin.
- Helps in the glow of the skin.
- Acts as a deadset against aging agents.
- Helps in fairer and odor-free underarms.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice contains vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant for the skin and delays premature aging. Due to its high pH level, it decreases oil on the skin and helps in reducing inflammation. Also, lemon contains citric acid that can naturally brighten the skin, including age spots and acne scars.
Due to its acidic nature, it may also cause some side-effects according to their sensitive skin types, like skin irritation, and also may increase the risk of sunburns. So in this case, you may avoid lemon if you have sensitive skin and replace it with water or aloe vera gel.
