Seven common kitchen ingredients can be used as natural beauty treatments for skin and hair. Honey acts as a humectant and antibacterial agent, helping to moisturize skin and fight acne when applied as a face mask. Coffee grounds, mixed with coconut oil, can reduce under-eye puffiness by improving circulation. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties help reduce pimples and lighten scars when applied with yogurt. Yogurt itself nourishes the scalp, softens hair, and reduces dandruff as a natural conditioner. Lemon juice, combined with honey, brightens skin and reduces tanning but should be used with caution to avoid sun exposure. Aloe vera gel soothes and cools sunburned skin. Rice water, rich in amino acids and vitamins, strengthens hair roots and enhances shine when used as a rinse. Users are advised to perform patch tests before applying these remedies and consult a dermatologist if they have sensitive skin or persistent concerns. These natural treatments offer chemical-free alternatives for beauty care using everyday kitchen ingredients. (Updated 21 Aug 2025, 18:29 IST; source: link)
