Tomato juice is also known to brighten-up the skin tone. You can also apply it with the help of cotton balls to remove excess oil from your face at the end of the day.
3. Storehouse of Vitamin C- Oranges
The vitamin C contained in oranges, boosts the formation of collagen and also helps in the production of other proteins in your skin.

4. Brewing Beauty- Coffee
Everyone’s favourite drink, coffee too is a great beauty-enhancing ingredient. It has anti-ageing properties that keep the early signs of ageing on your skin at bay. You can use the readily available coffee beans in the market. They make a great scrub. For this, take three-teaspoons of powdered coffee beans with one-teaspoon of milk along with 5-6 Poppy Seeds (khus-khus). Mix all of these to make a paste. Now, scrub your face in a circular motion using this paste, and wash off to reveal a refreshed and glowing skin.
5. Creamy Delight- Curd
Curd is a natural bleaching agent that deep-cleanses your skin, while enhancing its tone. It works great on oily skin as well. And, it can also be mixed while preparing any face pack, scrub or hair-mask. To make your lifeless hair shiny and smooth, mix an egg with adequate quantity of curd, and apply it like a mask all over your hair. Keep it for half-an-hour and wash off to reveal lustrous-than-ever hair!
