Hey guys, this post is gonna be about using products found in your kitchen to your skin's benefit! There are loads of different ways to achieve a softer, smoother skin naturally, and I'm gonna tell you a few of them today.

The basic ingredients I'm gonna be using in these techniques are

1. Honey

2. Lemon

3. Gram Flour

4. Turmeric

5. Curd (NOTE - use curd if you have oily skin. If you have dry skin, use milk)

6. Rose Water

(Here's how to make your own rose water - http://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/DIY-Rosewater-33121814)

7. Cinnamon

8. Aloe Vera

Now there are a few things you should know before using aloe vera, if you are using the plant. If you're gonna be using a gel available in the market, you can ignore this part.

Carefully cut the leaf from the bottom, as there is hardly any gel in the top part. You can just break it, but a knife or a blade would be better and less messy.

Wash the leaf to get rid of any insects or germs.

Now, depending on how much gel you need, cut off a piece of the leaf and then slice it open.

Then, scoop out the gel with a spoon or a knife as shown -

If you have a large part of the leaf left, put it in a glass of water, with the thicker part submerged into the water. It should last for at least 4-5 days.

Don't scoop out all the gel and store that, because it may get spoiled in just 1-2 days.

Recipe  1

Ingredients -

about 1-2 tbsp of curd (or milk)

2 tbsp of gram flour

1-2 tsp of honey

0.5 tsp cinnamon (optional)

You can increase the proportion of gram flour if you want a thicker mixture.

Mix everything together, spread it properly on your face, and let it dry. After around 20-3 minutes wash it off. Your skin should instantly feel softer and more glowing!

Recipe 2

Ingredients -

1 tbsp aloe vera gel

1 - 1.5 tbsp honey

1 tsp rose water

In this recipe, I started using rose water mainly to cover the smell of aloe vera (it smells disgusting!) However, rose water has its own benefits for skin and makes the recipe even better!

In a small bowl, take the aloe vera and using a spoon (or something like that) mash the aloe vera. It may not get completely mashed, but make sure a lot of the juice comes out. Add the honey and rose water to it. Apply it on your face and leave it for as long as you like, you could also leave it overnight if you could manage the mess it would make! After you wash it off, your face should be smoother and brighter. This is an especially effective recipe for removal of some kinds of deep acne scars too, if used regularly for a few months.

Recipe 3

Ingredients -

0.5 tsp of lemon

a pinch or two of turmeric

2 tbsp gram flour

1 tbsp curd (or milk)

Just mix the ingredients together, apply it on your face and wash it off after 15-20 minutes at most. If you have very dry skin, you may want to skip this recipe as lemon may further dry out your skin. However, it is pretty effective for oily and normal skins and brings a fresh glow to your face! Lemon also acts as a natural bleaching agent, so it's effective for all those scars.

Recipe 4

In the above recipe, add 2 tsp honey instead of gram flour. This recipe is safer for dry skin types.

Recipe 5

If you want to lighten your skin tone, use this recipe -

1 tsp lemon

3 tsp honey

2-3 tsp curd

1 tbsp gram flour

0.5 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)

Mix everything together and leave it on your face for 30-40 minutes. Do this every day to have visible results.

Recipe 6

Ingredients -

0.25 tsp cinnamon powder

0.5 tsp honey

0.5 tsp aloe vera

3-4 drops of lemon (optional)

Mix them together (after mashing the aloe) and apply it only on your acne and pimple scars. If you didn't add lemon, you can leave it overnight, or else not more than 40 minutes. Regular usage should cause the scars to fade, leaving behind a smoother skin.

Those were the major recipes. You could mix any of the ingredients I've listed and try out different combinations too - just be careful with the usage of lemon and turmeric (those are known to cause break outs in some people).

Alternatively, each of the ingredients has its own use and can be used separately. You could replace your cleansing lotion with some rose water. You could also apply just curd or just honey or just aloe on your face. Gram flour can be mixed with normal water or rose water and used separately, though I would recommend mixing it with curd instead.

So go ahead and experiment! These natural remedies are gentler to your skin than the chemical ones, and are perfect for people like me who have really sensitive skin. Try these recipes out and let me know if they worked for you!
