Cleansing—as simple as the word sounds, is a crucial step in any skin care regimen. It helps get rid of dust and grime from your skin after a long day. Excessive pollution and makeup for long hours can leave your skin lifeless and dry, so not cleansing is hardly an option!
And while there are some great quick-fix cleansing products in the market; it helps to use natural cleansing ingredients every once in a while, so your skin can enjoy the goodness of natural ingredients.
Here are some easy to find kitchen ingredients that double up as super cleansers...
Milk:
If you have sensitive skin, milk is your savior! Apart from being extremely affordable and easy to find it removes dirt and makeup gently, leaving your skin refreshed.
Cucumbers:
The benefits of cucumber for your skin are no secret. Being one of the most popular ingredients for skincare and beauty, its cooling properties and high water content makes it a super cleanser.
Pro Tip: Grate some cucumber and add to it a little bit of milk or olive oil and rub it on your lips to get rid of leftover lipstick stains.
Use some oil:
Olive and Coconut oil can work as great cleansers. They remove any leftover makeup or dirt that has settled on your face without leaving it dry and lifeless.
Yoghurt:
Take a few cotton balls dipped in yogurt and rub it all over your skin. After letting it on for a couple of minutes rinse it off with cool water. This will not only help cleanse your skin but will also get rid of sunburns and dark patches.
Bananas:
Mash a ripe banana and apply the paste on your face. Use a warm cloth or towel to clean your face after keeping it on for five minutes. This will remove all your makeup and leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
Rosewater:
