Waking up with beautiful glowing skin is everyone’s dream, isn’t it? But the winter season brings in a lot of dryness along with it which results in dry and flaky skin for many individuals. Moisture is scarce in this chilly weather which eventually makes our skin rough and patchy too, no matter how many times we apply any moisturizing cream or lotion.
You don’t need to worry anymore as we have brought the perfect solution for you which will be made easily using ingredients from your kitchen cabinets. Yes! Read below a list of amazing natural packs which will make your skin glow and supple free from winter dryness:
- Avocado & honey pack: Avocado pulp has an abundance of antioxidants like B-carotene and lecithin that helps to moisturize your skin on the other hand honey helps in soothing the skin. All you need to do is mix all the ingredients: mashed avocado, honey, and rose water, and apply them to your face and neck. Rinse it off after 10 minutes.
- Aloe vera & sandalwood pack: Aloe vera has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; it soothes and moisturizes the skin from winter dryness. Sandalwood powder helps in preventing ageing and also reduces signs of dry skin, flakiness, and wrinkles. Take fresh aloe vera gel, sandalwood powder, and honey. Mix them well and apply them to your face. Rinse with water after 15 minutes.
- Milk & banana pack: It is time that you hydrate your skin with a combination of milk and banana if you are facing issues of winter dryness but if your skin is excessively oily, use rosewater instead of milk. Banana helps in peeling off the dead skin and milk is a clarifying agent, so in case your skin has lost the glow, milk will help to retain that glow back. Take one mashed banana in a bowl and add one tablespoon of milk and mix it well. Apply it on your face and neck and leave it for 20 minutes and rinse it with warm water for glowing skin!
- Yoghurt, honey & oatmeal pack: This pack is beneficial for winters as the yogurt in this winter pack is a natural cleanser and moisturizer which removes dead cells and gives clearer skin. The oatmeal is a great scrubber that cleans and exfoliates your skin perfectly. You need to blend oats to make it powdered. Add yogurt and honey and form a thick paste. Apply this mixture on the face for 15 minutes and then wash your face.
- Raw milk & papaya pack: Papaya is full of essential nutrients and minerals that make your skin supple and soft. Milk is an abundant source of vitamin E which adds moisture to dry and dull skin. All you need to take is half-ripe papaya that is mashed and raw milk; make a puree with a coarse texture. Apply the pack on your face and leave it until it becomes dry and wash it off with tap water.
