Dirt and grime clogging your pores could be an excellent breeding spots for various bacteria, causing acne breakouts, blackheads and whiteheads. That’s when this citrus exfoliant will come handy. Mix together two tbsp each of lemon and orange juice and apply on the face. Let it stay for around 5-7 minutes and then rinse.

Cucumber, being an excellent coolant, helps reduce inflammation of the skin and naturally refreshes the skin. Honey, loaded with antimicrobial properties, is an excellent home remedy for naturally absorbing impurities and cleansing the skin.
