Turmeric for better skin

Turmeric contains curcumin, that has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps eliminate the harmful free radicals that are damaging to the skin. Take 1/2 -1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 4 tablespoons gram flour (also called as chickpea flour), and milk/water. Mix the turmeric powder with the gram flour, and add enough milk or water to it, to form a paste. Apply this paste on the face and neck, as a mask. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with plain water.

Virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil works best for dry and dull skin. It locks the moisture in the skin and also nourishes the skin with essential fatty acids. Lightly warm up the oil and apply on the face and neck, as a mask. Massage for a few minutes in gentle circular motions. Leave the oil on overnight. (Some sugar can also be added to the oil and used as a scrub to exfoliate the skin once or twice a week).
