1. Turmeric-Gram Flour Face Mask
Mix 1 tsp turmeric, 2 tbsp gram flour, and rose water into a paste. Apply twice weekly for 10 minutes. Curcumin in turmeric fights acne bacteria (Phytomedicine journal) while gram flour gently exfoliates.
2. Raw Honey as Cleanser
Use raw honey to wash your face morning and night. Its natural enzymes cleanse pores, and antibacterial properties prevent breakouts. A 2022 Dermatology Reports study confirmed honey reduces P. acnes bacteria by 50%.
3. Cucumber Eye Compress
Place chilled cucumber slices on eyes for 5 minutes daily. Cucuriein compounds reduce puffiness and dark circles. This natural beauty hack costs pennies.
4. Aloe Vera Overnight Gel
Apply fresh aloe gel from a cut leaf on clean skin before bed. It hydrates 30 times its weight and repairs sun damage, per Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research.
5. Coffee Ground Body Scrub
Mix used coffee grounds with coconut oil. Scrub in circular motions 2x/week to slough dead skin and reduce cellulite appearance via caffeine’s vasoconstriction effect.
6. Green Tea Toner
Brew organic green tea, cool, and spritz post-cleansing. EGCG antioxidants shrink pores and calm redness (Journal of Investigative Dermatology).
