Wave goodbye to dry skin in winter using Indian spices. Find out which homemade treatments will leave your skin soft, supple, and moisturised.
TURMERIC THERAPY
The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric soothe the dryness of the skin and give it a natural glow. For a refreshing facial mask, mix yoghurt with your hands into a paste.
SAFFRON'S SECRET
Milk mixed with saffron can fight dryness and enhance beauty. To get the most out of it, use it as a mild scrub.
WONDERS OF CLOVE
Cloves are beneficial because they moisturise dry skin and soothe irritation. For safety, dilute it with carrier oil and then apply.
GINGER GLOW
A pinch of ginger increases blood flow, making the skin moist and hydrated-looking. Drink a cup of ginger tea every day.
CARDAMOM COMFORT
The antibacterial effects of cardamom may reduce the likelihood of developing dry skin. Mix with aloe vera for a relaxing skin mask.
CINNAMON SENSATION
The use of cinnamon exfoliates old skin for a soft feel. Honey is a hydrating scrub.
NUTMEG NOURISHMENT
A paste made up of nutmeg and honey is a good moisturiser for chapped or cracked skin. Set it aside as a facial pack for fifteen minutes.
FENNEL FIX
The use of dry fennel seeds also improves your body’s internal moisture and helps maintain an even skin tone. Mix the boiled seeds with filtered water and apply as a toner.
MUSTARD MOISTURE
The use of mustard oil is effective in moisturising dry skin. Apply it to the areas you want to moisturise and leave overnight.
CONCLUSION
For winter skincare, embrace the goodness of these Indian spices. However, individual results will, in fact, differ. Always see a dermatologist if you of long-term skin trouble.
