Achieving a glass skin glow is a dream come true for some of us. However, the daily exposure to dust, pollution, ultraviolet rays, and a stagnant lifestyle shows up on our faces. Even our hair is not spared. Our skin and hair, both lose their glow and are stripped of their moisture and we end up having breakouts in the form of acne or pimples and even face the issue of scalp irritation, dandruff, hair fall, etc.
To tackle these problems, you can turn to herbal remedies. Whether it is in the form of some oil, powder, paste, or juice, herbal ingredients are essential and effective in skin repair and can easily be found in the kitchen pantry.
Here are a few hair and skin masks –
Neem is ayurvedic and is described as a ‘universal healer of ailments.’ Just like neem, Tulsi too has medicinal and enriching properties. Try the homemade recipe of Neem and Tulsi for bright and blemish-free skin. Grind the leaves together along with cloves. Add some rose water until the mixture forms a paste. Apply it to your face and wash it off after 20 minutes and get a celeb-like glow.
