Hello Beauties, don't you wish to have healthy glowing skin without digging a hole in your pocket? Well now is the time to say good-bye to expensive makeup products.
Home made skin care remedies are best to keep your skin younger and glowing.
Whereas getting a professional treatment every other week is not only expensive but also not good for skin, as it exposes our skin to harmful chemicals which eventually damages our skin.
And honestly, managing things at work or at home, and at times both, leaves us very little time to take care of ourself and we can't spend hours at the spa.
So here is something to save your time and money. Just head to your kitchen and pamper yourself with these simple homemade facial masks.
Gram-flour and Turmeric Face Mask
Gram-flour is known to be a popular skin whitening ingredient and at the same time it soaks up the excess oils from the skin, while turmeric helps with inflammatory skin problems like acne and eczema. Turmeric also helps reduce pigmentation and evens out skin tone.
All you need is:
2 tbsp gram-flour
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
And water to make a paste. (Not too thick not too runny)
Mix all the ingredients well and apply a thin layer on your skin and let dry for 30 mins or until dried out. Wash off with warm water, scrubbing gently to remove.
Egg Face Mask
Egg white is great for toning and tightening skin and shrinks large pores.
Additionally, it contains an ingredient known as Iysozyme, an enzyme that kills acne-causing bacteria.
What you need :
1 Egg white
Tissue papers
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
Whisk egg white and lemon juice and apply little bit on your face with a brush or cotton pad.
Cut tissue paper in 2 to 3 inch wide strips and stick on wet skin. Apply one more layer of the mixture with a brush or cotton pad and let dry. Once dried completely, peel off and rinse your face with warm water.
Milk Face Mask

What you need:
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp honey
1 slice of cucumber or aloe vera gel. Or both if you want.
Mix them properly in a fine paste and apply on clean face and neck. Leave for 20 to 30 minutes and wash away.

Papayas contain a very powerful enzyme called papain which not only heels irritated skin but removes dead skin cells too. It is also rich in vitamins and has great anti-aging properties.
What you need:
