We all love a relaxing home remedy but not everything that is available in your kitchen is good for your skin .
Here I mention a few swaps that can be made which will make the remedy better for your skin .
▪️Papaya is a yes and Lemon is a no no
If you want a brightening face mask then mash a papaya and apply it on your face. It is soothing and also helps in making skin softer.
Lemon on the other hand can cause irritation and should not be applied on the face .
▪️Curd over baking soda powder
Curd has lactic acid which is a gentle exfoliant and moisturising agent. You can use curd over face, dark neck, arms, elbows and knees. Apply it on and leave it for 20 mins before washing it off.
Baking soda should absolutely not be used on the skin as it can cause nasty burns
▪️Fruit pack is better than besan pack
You can mash some fruits like watermelon or papaya or banana and add on some rose water and apply it over the face. Leave it on for 20Mins and wash it off. Use a moisturiser afterwards. This will make your skin appear fresher and smoother
Besan pack, though very popular, is not a good option. It may suit very oily skin but if you have any other skin type or have acne then it can worsen your skin. Besan is a type of physical scrub which is best avoided.
Hope you found this helpful. Let me know in the comments below if you have tried any of these.
⚠️Home remedies do not correct underlying skin condition. They only moisturise or gently exfoliate the skin.

Hello Dr. Aanchal. Why can't we use besan for facepack. Besan exfoliates our skin, eliminates dirt, pollutants and dead skin cells and has lightening effects. Plz do reply

I think besan is fine if you have oily skin or if you mix it with ingredients like raw milk, raw honey, glycerin and aloevera. it can be drying though and may make your skin feel itchy if you put it on for too long. mix besan with hydrating ingredients, use for a short period of time and it becomes a perfect face wash

As for besan it really do depend on skin types as she mentioned as for me i do have a little acne butas those r harmonal acne so they have nothing to do with gram flour so i always use gram flour as morning face wash and it really helps to glow skin and has no toxic chemicals so i live using it in morning so you may understand your skin type first and if ur skin has no harms with besan than its a total amaze for your skin

Besan is great for the skin.. it was used in ancient times when no dermatologists were there. They had great skin. So how could it be bad?
