Beauty Expert and Skincare Specialist Sheetal Rawal has numerous, all-natural beauty tips that are not only effective, but more affordable and healthier than most cosmetic industry solutions. “Growing up in India, I was surrounded by the wisdom of Ayurveda, which is based on an ancient system for health and wellbeing,” she says.
“My mother and grandmother always relied on Ayurveda remedies, and are big fans of this skincare routine that is used to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and/or discoloration of skin due to sun damage, etc. This trick is truly effective and has better results than most high-end cosmetic products that claim to do the same thing,” says Rawal
Unlike most cosmetic products, Rawal’s beauty trick uses all-natural ingredients that are free of harsh chemicals—making it truly the healthiest option for your skincare routine. Made with ingredients that you can find in your own kitchen—Rawal’s secret recipe is super easy for anyone to try.
To begin, start with the following: 1 tablespoon rice flour + 1/8th teaspoon turmeric powder + 8 drops fresh lemon juice + 10 drops fresh potato juice.
Mix well into a smooth paste. Add some warm water to thin it out. Apply on your skin and let it stiffen up for about 12 minutes. Then, wet the mask with warm water and massage in with circular, upward strokes for about 2 minutes. It is essential to apply your serum and lotion for right after to prevent any dryness—and voila, your skin will be more radiant, soft, and even toned.
Rawal notes, “Turmeric is an awesome antioxidant and has been known for its color balancing properties. Lemon juice is a rich source of citric acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid (great to speed up the exfoliation of the discolored layers of skin); and potato juice is highly recommended in Ayurveda for pigmented/discolored skin renewal.” For more of Health + Beauty, order your copy of The Summer Issue here.
