Do you get tanned as easily as you gain weight? No doubt, the woes of dark and pigmented skin are something everybody can relate to, especially in a sunny and polluted country like India. Your complexion is a mirror of how well you take care of your skin. Moreover, using commercial creams which promise to give you fairer skin in 14 days just doesn’t work for everyone.

We often ignore the rants of our grandmother and mother about using home remedies to improve the texture of our skin. One advice I would give to my 14-year-old self is to use sunscreen every time I step out.

While the last time I told you about my tried and tested hair spa treatment at home, this time we have come up with real and working home techniques to give you fresh and younger looking skin.



Day 1

Follow a skin care routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing (CTM) every day.

From here on, get yourself a soft and gentle cleanser that suits your type of skin. It removes all impurities from your face and must not be too harsh on your skin. Use this cleanser to cleanse your skin properly. After that, apply a toner . This removes all oil and dirt on your skin. After toning, use a moisturizer .

Buy a good face pack or glowing mask to give some glow to your face or else you could also try making a natural face pack using ingredients available at home like eggs, baking soda, turmeric powder, curd. Fruit masks also work great on your face.

Wake up in the morning to find your face looking healthier. The texture of your face will have improved and you could see a glow. Follow your usual CTM routine first thing in the morning.

Pamper your skin well enough on the fourth day by giving your face a good steam bath . It opens up all the pores of your skin that are clogged. When they open up, all impurities, dirt, and oils come out.

Dip a cotton ball in rose water and clean your face with it. Rose water is great for your skin. It cools your skin and gives a natural radiance. Your face will look healthy and fresh after the treatment.
