- Kumari Anisha

It’s winter time, and that usually means trouble for our skin. Here are a few easy kitchen-shelf remedies for dry, parched skin. These homemade face packs will nourish your skin and leave it soft and glowing.

Olive oil and egg yolk face mask:

Treat your skin with two natural antioxidan­ts, olive oil and egg yolk. Take 2tbsp of olive oil and one egg yolk. Whip them together to make a face mask. Apply and rinse off after 15 minutes. Vitamin E& K in olive oil will help to exfoliate dead cells and vitamin A of egg yolk will moisturise your skin.

Avocado and honey paste:

Take equal proportion­s of mashed avocado and honey and blend them together into a smooth paste. Apply the paste on your face and neck and rinse off after 15 minutes. This pack helps remove fine lines and lends a healthy, pink glow.

Banana and yogurt face mask:

Combine one mashed banana with 1 spoon of yoghurt. Mix them together and apply on your face. Rinse it off after 15 minutes. This pack reduces pigmentati­on and helps to detan your skin.

Almond face mask

Almonds help in detanning and reducing cell damage due to exposure to sun. It also helps reduce inflamatio­n. Soak a few almonds in milk. Make a smooth paste and add a few drops of olive oil and 1/2 tbsp sandalwood powder. Apply on your face and leave on for 15 minutes. Wash off with luke warm water.
