One ingredient that an Indian household never runs out of is buttermilk. And believe it or not, it can do more than aid digestion and clear colon, it can make you look younger!

Don't believe us? Try these buttermilk face masks and see for yourself!

We are not here to make lofty claims with no results. We are here to make realistic claims that do bring about a difference.

Buttermilk contains lactic acid, which sloughs off the extra layer of dead skin, revealing clearer skin underneath.

It contains essential fats that penetrate deep into the skin layers, hydrating the skin, tightening the pores and repairing damaged skin cells.

To add to it, its rich acidic and astringent properties work towards lightening dark spots, tightening and brightening the skin tone.

Buttermilk is also potent on calcium, proteins and potassium, which boost collagen level of the skin, which in turn treats fine lines.

How is buttermilk better than milk? Milk, mostly low-fat milk, lacks the essential fatty acids that are required to draw out toxins. Buttermilk being more concentrated in fats, works better on skin!

So, have a look at these effective buttermilk face masks for younger-looking skin.
