Did our mothers and grandmothers not have beautiful skin?

1. Mutani Mitti or Fuller's Earth: Multani mitti is nothing but clay that can used a great natural facial cleanser. Fuller's earth absorbs bacteria and toxins from the skin leaving it fresh. It also stops the loss of moisture from the skin giving it a supple feel. Try this simple facial cleanser, by soaking it in curd for an hour.

If you just cut a piece of tomato and apply it on your face it will extract some of your blackheads. It is as as simple as it can get. Tomatoes are also great for removing sun tan. You have to just mix tomato juice with milk cream, apply it on you face for 10 minutes and wash it off.

3. Curd or Yogurt: Curd again like tomatoes has an acidic property and added to that is the goodness of milk. Curd is a great natural face cleanser due to the exfoliating effect. It dissolves the adhesive that holds the dead skin cells together. Make a face pack of curd, crushed coriander leaves and oatmeal powder and keep it applied on your face for half an hour. You can easily get rid of the dead skin cells on your face using this natural skin cleanser.

4. Orange and Lemon Peels: Due to their citrus content and coarse texture, dried orange and lemon peels can make useful natural face scrubs. All you have to is dry these citrus peels, powder them and store them. Whenever you need a natural face scrub, mix this powder with oats and a little milk. Apart from being a great natural face cleanser, it has antiseptic properties.
