It’s pretty hard to not look like a hippie, here we come for your rescue!

Milk:
Why buy a cosmetic containing milk when you can go straight to the source? Raw milk makes for an effective cleanser. All you do is dab raw milk all over the face using a cotton ball.

Wash with lukewarm water (oily skin) or normal tap water (dry skin), after 20 minutes. Combination of tomato juice and raw milk gives you a supple and squeaky-clean skin. Prepare a face pack by mixing raw milk, a pinch of turmeric, and multani mitti (fuller’s earth) or gram flour to even out your skin tone. Take a royal exfoliating and moisturizing bath using milk and honey with few drops of rose water.
Almond:
Mix powdered milk, ground almonds, rice powder and rose petals. Apply this pack on your face and neck to get rid of uneven skin tone and get velvety smooth skin. Crush almonds that are overnight soaked and mix papaya pulp in it. Apply the face mask and wash with cold water after 20 minutes. Say buh-bye to open pores and patchy pigmented skin. Treat your oily skin afflicted with acne by applying ground almonds with yogurt.

Tomato, the superstar fruit has immense nourishing and hydrating nutrients that will keep your skin
healthy. The perfect pack for combination skin is tomato pulp and mashed avocado. Blend tomato, few drops of lemon juice, and yogurt, and apply all over your face. Soon you’ll flaunt a luminous glow! Extract the juice from tomato and add aloe vera to it. Apply this mixture on the under-eye area and wash it off after 10 minutes. Bleaching properties in tomato lightens the dark area.

This exfoliating mask tightens your pores and hydrates your skin. Add honey and lemon juice to mashed banana, and pat this mixture on your face for 15 minutes.
