Every woman wants picture-perfect, flawless skin. Clear and
beautiful skin is one of the main elements of a person’s beauty. Healthy skin
helps you feel beautiful as well.
Your skin care regimen and lifestyle habits are the primary
predictors of your skin’s health. Some of the leading factors that take a toll
on the quality and texture of your skin are stress, lack of sleep, poor
nutrition, pollution, damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, excessive smoking
and drinking alcohol.
There are thousands of skin and beauty care products that
promise to give you clear and glowing skin. Instead of relying on these
products, you can try some simple and easy home remedies to improve the overall
health and appearance of your skin.
1. Honey
To enjoy clear skin, your need to keep your skin well
moisturized. Honey is a great moisturizer and also has antibacterial properties
that help ward off infection.

honey. Then add one teaspoon of gram flour and mix it in well. Apply it all

water. Use this face mask once a week to enjoy radiant and clear skin.

Aloe vera has many benefits for the skin. It has

anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritated skin, and astringent
properties that help heal scars. Plus, aloe vera moisturizes the skin and
