: Coconut oil: Pour some coconut oil your palms and gently rub it into your face. You may use coconut oil-soaked cotton pads too. Loaded with antimicrobial properties, coconut oil is an excellent moisturiser.

: Cucumber Juice: Take one cucumber and blend it to make a smooth paste and use it as a cleanser. Cucumbers have anti-inflammatory properties, that can help to soothe irritated or acne-prone skin.

: Baking Soda and Honey: On a clean cloth, put some honey, sprinkle some baking soda over it. Now rub it on your face, and then rinse your face. This works as an excellent cleanser as well as an exfoliator.

: Steaming: Fill your sink/or a bucket with steaming hot water and lean over it for a few minutes. Steaming helps unclogs skin pores and remove dirt and impurities.

: Milk: The fat and proteins in milk can help hydrate and allow your skin to retain moisture. To remove your make-up, apply whole milk all over your face and then wipe it off with a wash cloth or cotton ball, before rinsing with water. You can add a tablespoon of almond oil as well. It will refresh your face.
