Honey

Honey: Mix honey with one teaspoon orange juice and apply on the face and wash it off after 20 minutes for a soft and smooth skin. However, if you have acne-prone skin, mix a teaspoon of honey with one teaspoon curd and a pinch of turmeric powder. Apply the mixture on the skin and wash it off with plenty of water after 20 minutes. Also Read - COVID-19 LIVE Updates: Is another lockdown loading?

Cabbage

Cabbage: Boil a cup of fresh cabbage leaves in around a litre of water. Cool the liquid and use it to wash the face. Cabbage is rich in minerals, which not only restores nutrients in the skin but also suits all skin types.

Olive-oil

Olive oil: If you have extremely dry and damaged hair, then mix some olive oil with the egg yolk. Mix it properly and apply on the hair. Tie an old scarf on the head and leave the mixture on for an hour. Then, shampoo the hair using a mild shampoo for shiny and smooth hair.

7/7

Beer

Beer: If you have tried all the natural remedies to deal with dry hair only to know it never works then you must try this out! Beer makes a good rinse for dry hair so after shampoo, add the juice of a lemon to the beer and rinse the hair. Wait for a few minutes and wash off with plain water.
