Every woman desires a radiant, glowing complexion. While we often resort to expensive beauty products or chemical-laden face masks, a simple home remedy can provide a natural glow without side effects. A recent Ayurvedic doctor shared a recipe for natural beauty cubes that help combat blemishes, tanning, and pigmentation.
The unique feature of these beauty cubes is the use of aloe vera water instead of gel, combined with skin-nourishing ingredients like gram flour (besan), red lentils (masoor dal), and almonds.
Ingredients for Beauty Cubes
- Fresh Aloe Vera Leaf: Aloe vera hydrates the skin, retains moisture, and promotes soft, healthy skin.
- Gram Flour (Besan) (2 tsp): Besan helps cleanse the skin and remove dead cells, deeply nourishing the complexion.
- Red Lentils (Masoor Dal) (2 tsp): Red lentils are rich in protein and fiber, promoting soft, glowing skin and lightening blemishes.
- Almonds (5-6): Almonds contain Vitamin E and other nutrients that enhance skin radiance, softness, and luminosity.
How to Make Beauty Cubes
- Take a fresh aloe vera leaf, trim the edges, and soak it in water. This removes the yellow, thick sap inside, which is considered harmful to the skin.
- Extract the aloe vera gel, blend it with a little water until smooth, and strain to obtain clear aloe vera water free from impurities or lumps.
- Grind red lentils, gram flour, and almonds into a fine powder using a blender. Blending these together creates an effective scrub and beneficial skin mixture.
- Mix the powder with the aloe vera water to form a thick paste. This paste will moisturize and soften the skin.
- Pour the mixture into an ice tray and freeze until solid. You will then have your natural beauty cubes.
How to Use Beauty Cubes
- Cleanse your face: Thoroughly cleanse your face to remove dirt and oil. Use a mild face wash or rose water.
- Apply the beauty cube: Gently massage a beauty cube onto your face using your fingertips or palm.
- Focus on problem areas: Concentrate on areas with tanning, blemishes, or pigmentation for faster improvement.
- Leave it on: Leave the cube on for 10-15 minutes to allow the skin to absorb the nutrients.
- Rinse with water: After 10-15 minutes, rinse your face with plain water.
Benefits of Beauty Cubes
These beauty cubes offer numerous skin benefits. They deeply cleanse and brighten the complexion. Regular use helps lighten dark spots and sun tan, evens skin tone, and firms the face.
The aloe vera water cools the skin and helps reduce pimples or acne. Besan and masoor dal exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin refreshed and clean. Almonds nourish and soften the skin.
Ayurvedic Doctor's Advice
According to the doctor, regular use provides a natural glow without harming the skin. The aloe vera water cools and soothes, while besan and masoor dal remove dirt and tan from the skin's surface, deeply cleansing for a refreshed and radiant complexion.
Vitamin E in almonds protects against signs of aging, keeping skin youthful, nourished, soft, and radiant. Regular use is an effective way to maintain healthy, beautiful skin.
Precautions
- If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test before using the beauty cubes to avoid allergic reactions.
- Apply the cubes immediately after removing them from the refrigerator for a refreshing, cooling effect.
- Avoid using these cubes if you are allergic to aloe vera, as it may cause a skin reaction.
Instead of expensive commercial beauty products, these homemade natural beauty cubes can enhance your complexion. This remedy is effective, affordable, and safe. Use it a few times a week for flawless, soft, glowing skin.
