Honey, curd and rosewater: Mix one spoon of honey, water and rose water in a bowl. Apply it evenly on your face and leave it on for around 15 minutes. Finally, wash it off with water. You'll see an instant glow on your face. It is best suited for dry skin. However, people with oily skin can avoid or use a little less honey while making this face pack. Both honey and curd have cooling and moisturising effects on your skin. Rosewater, on the other hand, hydrates the skin and gives it a refreshing glow.

Multani mitti and rose water: Multani Mitti is one of the most common ingredients to make face masks in Indian households. Mix it with a bit of rose water and apply it to your face. Keep it on until the pack dries up, and then wash it off with water and you are done. You can also add a bit of fresh malai if your skin feels dry. Multani Mitti is excellent at fighting sun damage and has a cooling effect.

Tomato, curd and lemon: Grate a tomato and add a bit of curd and a few lemons. Mix it all and apply it to your face. Massage in a circular motion for a minute or two. Leave the mask on your face for 10 minutes, then wash it with water. Tomato is a natural bleaching agent that is filled with antioxidant properties. It also helps tighten pores and works as a good toner. Furthermore, lemon boosts skin lightening and has an exfoliating effect on the skin.
