Who doesn’t love glowing, fresh skin in summer? But let’s be honest — parlor facials can burn a hole in your pocket, and many store-bought products just don’t suit our Indian skin during hot, humid days.
The good news? Your kitchen is already stocked with everything you need for a cooling, nourishing summer facial — and it takes less than 30 minutes.
Let’s do it together — step-by-step!
