Homemade Moisturizer Recipes

Your face is the window to your soul. And just like the windows of your home reflect your décor; your face reflects your internal health. However, it is not always an internal weakness that makes your skin rough.

The everyday pollution and prolonged exposure to sun rays cause your skin to dehydrate unnaturally. 

Dehydrated Skin

This dehydration, if not checked, can cause an irreparable damage to the skin cells and cause untimely wrinkling and other ageing signs.

 But since staying indoors to safeguard skin is not an option in today’s fast-moving world, you tend to depend on highly marketed and over-hyped beauty products which not only dig holes in your pocket but also cause more harm to your skin in the long run. To minimize the side effects of such products, it is always better if you turn to homemade and natural skin-care products.

These products can completely replace the cosmetic skin-care products and give you the best results possible without any side effects. So, why wait. Try out some of these recipes and get that million-dollar glow without actually spending that much.
