Winter air is extremely dry, and as a result, your skin and hair lose moisture. This means that you end up with dry skin, chapped lips, dandruff, hair fall and, in some cases, irritation and rashes. You could try OTC products for each of these concerns, but then you’ll only be subjecting your body to an array of chemicals which cause more harm than good in the long term.
Fortunately, you don’t have to do that – not when we have a treasure trove of traditional home remedies, otherwise known as ‘dadi ma ke nushke‘!
Today we bring you 10 of the best grandmother’s home remedies to face the winter chill, which will leave you feeling and looking great all season!
Grandmother’s Home Remedies to face the Winter Chill
1. Use Cinnamon and Honey to Cleanse
Commercial facial cleansers can be very drying, and this is particularly harmful in winters, when the skin can end up feeling tight and parched. A cinnamon honey cleanser is a much gentler option. Cinnamon and honey are both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, cleansing and keeping germs at bay. What’s more, honey is a humectant and an emollient, which means it traps moisture in the skin and locks it in. Mix 2 tablespoons honey with half a teaspoon of powdered cinnamon and apply all over the face with your fingers or a soft facial brush. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with cool water.
2. Use Raw Milk as a Toner
