Tanya SachdevAt some point in our lives, we all have used home remedies for our beautiful skin. Work schedules, over- tempting brand advertisements and lack of time has led us to use ready made skincare. Nothing beats the power of natural skincare. Here are some remedies that are unique, not so common and give amazing results. These are lying in plenty with us. Let’s start with home spa sessions. I promise, these skin care recipes are easy to make too.
6 Home remedies for glowing skin
ALMONDS
Almonds have high vitamin E content and are known for outstanding results on skin and brain.
Make a thick paste of crushed almonds (soaked overnight) with raw milk. Apply it on your face and neck for half an hour. Wash off with cold water. This will help you to get rid of uneven skin tone and smoothen your skin too.
FRUIT PACK
You know that you can make your own homemade fruit pack. You still prefer to visit a parlour and pay thousands of rupees for their fruit pack. Try this homemade face pack and save some bucks.
Mash pieces of ripe banana, papaya, lemon, orange and mix it with 2 tablespoons of cream. Leave it on your skin for 20 minutes. Repeat it for a month and you will see your skin glowing radiantly.

You must have witnessed ‘haldi ki rasam’ during weddings. Yes, we use haldi or turmeric because it tones our skin and keeps it neat and clean. Turmeric is a home remedy for literally everything and it is also useful for the skin because it makes the face glow. It is good for oily skin. The simple step is to mix turmeric, lemon leaves (optional) and yoghurt and apply on the face for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water to see a clean and fresh skin.
RAW POTATO WITH ROSE WATER

It is super simple to make this home remedy. Mix one tablespoon of milk and honey and you can also use Malai as a substitute to milk. Leave it for about 15-20 minutes for a shining and glowing face.
These were 6 simple home remedies for glowing skin. Remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day. You need to keep repeating these packs over a period of time to see the results.
