Top 5 Natural Packs for Summer

1) Besan and curd natural pack

Besan/ gram flour is a good exfoliator that helps get rid of dead skin cells and dirt on your face. It also works to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of acne and blemishes. The combination of curd and Besan will not only whiten but also moisturize your skin.

Apply twice or thrice a week and get glowing beautiful skin!

2) Aloe vera and cucumber face mask

Aloe vera is at least nourishing and hydrating on the skin. It soothes irritated skin and can treat an infection. Meanwhile, cucumber makes the skin soft and smooth.

To make this natural pack, combine one tablespoon of aloe vera gel with a tablespoon’s worth of cucumber pulp.

Apply this mixture on your face and leave it on for at least 30 minutes.

Use this on your face at least four times a week to keep your skin soft and supple!
