Clear, Glowing Skin for Diwali | Remove Tan & Dead Skin Cells | DIY Natural Skincare

Hi guys,

This is how I prepped my skin today for Diwali, using all natural skincare available at home. So read on to know how to get clear, glowing skin for Diwali

Step 1: Gramflour + Turmeric + Rose Water

For step 1, I take a mix of 1 tbsp gram flour, 1/4 tsp turmeric and 2 tsp rose water. Do not add too much of turmeric as that would stain your skin yellow. Add more rose water if needed.

Gramflour (Besan):
– Absorbs Oil
– Removes Sun tan
– Gently exfoliates
– Removes dead skin cells

Rose Water:
– Calms and soothes skin
– Reduces irritation & redness

Turmeric (Haldi):
– Anti Bacterial & Anti Fungal
– Prevents acne
– shrinks existing acne

The mix of these three is amazing, and is also the ubtan we use for Haldi ceremony in Indian weddings. Apply the mix all over face and neck and keep it for 10-15 minutes till it completely dries. Then damp/wet your hands and scrub the pack. Keep adding water to hands and scrubbing, this will exfoliate the dead skin cells.

Step 2: Shaving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flYn8iL5X5w

I have done a detailed video on how and why I shave my face, linked above. Watch the video for more information, you can obviously skip this step if you don’t shave. You can pluck some stray hairs with a tweezer, if you wish to.

Step 3: Yogurt + Honey

For the final step, I take a mix of 1tbsp yogurt and 1tsp honey and mix it well to form a smooth paste. Apply evenly on face and neck and keep it for 10 minutes before washing off.

Yogurt:
– Lactic acid gently exfoliates, natural  AHA
– Softens the skin
– Moisturises & Hydrates
– Removes tan & dead skin cells

Honey:
– Anti Bacterial
– Softens & hydrates skin
– Humectant & excellent moisturizer

If you can find raw organic honey, that is even better! If not, honey that is available will do.

That’s it! Easy and quick, with all natural and easily available ingredients. I loved the results and my skin was instantly softer, smoother and hydrated. I could definitely see a visible glow, do try this out and let me know how it works for you.
