Moong dal or green gram provides the needed amount of vitamin B1, B5, B9 and B6 that considerably increase blood circulation in your skin. Also, the vitamin B present in it serves as an effective skin-lightening agent and works on reducing pigmentation on your skin. Similarly, orange peel is a remedy effective enough to protect the skin against damage and fights off free radicals. This helps keep your skin intact, soft and supple.

Steps:

  • Soak 2 tbsp of moong dal overnight in a bowl of water. The next morning, blend it into a fine paste.
  • Take some orange peel and grind it to a powder.
  • Mix the moong dal paste with the orange peel powder and add two teaspoons of honey to this mixture.
  • Add some milk to the mixture to make a smooth paste.
  • Apply this paste on the affected area. Let it dry for 15-20 minutes.
  • Gently rinse off with some warm water.
