Hey guys.. Who doesn’t love to have flawless and radiant skin. But today’s pollution ruins our skin. I have tried hell lot of store bought product and those didn’t do any good for my skin. Even dermatocare products gave temporary results. At one point of time I was tired of using store bought products and I decided to try DIY products after seeing many hand made organic skin care brands. Those brands were expensive to use it on a daily basis and so I started using DIY products. After reading a lot I came to know about various natural ingredients and their usage. Now I believe in using DIY products and my skin and hair care routine has many DIY recipes . Today am sharing one such DIY recipe.
