Milky Way: Milk is not only good for health but, if applied to the skin, does wonder there too. Mix crushed bread slices in un-boiled milk and before your bath, rub it on your body and of course your face too. Instantly a shine can be noticed. Apart from this take a handful of masoor dal and almonds. Soak it in water overnight. Grind it into a very fine paste after removing the shells. Mix a little raw milk in the paste and apply for 20-25 minutes. Rinse with normal water.
Egg wonder: You might be in your 20s but the signs of premature aging cannot just be hidden with make-up. Just take an eggshell and with your finger take out the stuff left in the shell and apply it to your face. This is a good remedy for wrinkled skin. Continue using it even after marriage to keep away the unwanted stuffy lines from your face.
Soft Glow: Peel a cucumber and grind it. Add un-boiled milk to it, make a fine paste and apply it. It softens the skin and enhances the complexion too.
White Magic: Take two tablespoonful’s of curd. Mix well. Now add gram flour to it and again beat it well. Apply it your face and leave it on for about 25 minutes. It is quite effective in cases of suntan or sunburn.

Earthy beauty: Though fuller’s earth has been in use for ages, its magical effects in treating skin cannot be denied. To feel the earthy effect on the skin take a spoonful of multani metti. Add a tablespoonful of rose water and prepare a thick paste. Apply a thick coat to the oily part of your face and a light coat to the dry part. Let it remain for five-10 minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water. Results may vary from person to person.
Fresh smile: Take sandalwood paste, add rose water and apply it to your face. Sandalwood has a cooling effect on the skin. If your skin is oily, this pack can be avoided.
