Turmeric, gram flour and raw milk for oily skin

If your skin is feeling a little oily, then all you need to do is mix these three things - a pinch of turmeric, some drops of honey or raw milk, and 1/4th tbsp of gram flour. Mix the ingredients and make a paste. Apply it on your face for some time and when you feel it starts to dry out, you can wash off your face with normal water.

Tomato juice

Rakul shared that she relies on tomato juice when she's looking for a tan removal solution. What she does is she cuts the tomato into a half and then rub the tomato on her skin. This hack she does every time she comes back from shooting outdoors.

Come to think of it, investing in skincare is fine, but it is also important to know that there are many readily available ingredients in the kitchen that can offer immense skincare benefits.
