Say Goodbye to Blackheads
Don’t like blackheads? A nifty, lush lemon can help you get rid of them. Take a lemon and slice it in half. Rub the lemon juice gently onto your face and wait for five minutes. Rinse it off with cold water. Lemons have antibacterial properties, so they are a perfect remedy for treating blackheads. Blackheads are clogged pores, oxidized into a dark colour, being open and exposed to air. So it’s important your skin remains moisturized and exfoliated. Even honey would do wonders. Honey is antibacterial in nature and tugs out the dirt from clogged pores. It also softens skin, which makes the extraction of blackhead much easier. Along with honey you can also add milk and apply where you find the most blackheads. Let it sit for 45 mins and then rinse with warm water.

Banana is one fruit you will probably find in any kitchen, and surprisingly enough, it can actually do a lot of good for your skin… without having to eat it.You will get a healthy and hydrated glow by mashing a ripe banana and rubbing it into your skin. Bananas can do wonders promoting clear skin as it is rich with potassium, moisture, and vitamins E and C.

Exfoliate Your Dead Skin
Exfoliation is the ideal way to get fresh, youthful, and clear skin. Dead skin cells and rough skin are never in style, and with a bit of salt, you will have nothing but wonderfully suave skin.

The Tan Takedown

On the other hand, orange brightens your tone and improves skin’s condition. You can even bid goodbye to tan on your body by mixing curd with tomatoes. Tomatoes act as a natural sunscreen and reduce redness.

Apply a small amount of coconut oil between your fingers and massage it into lashes and around the eyes to gently cleanse it out. You can also apply coconut oil all over your face with the help of a cotton pad to remove your make-up. Make sure to clean your face with a face wash after this step.
