3. Honey for Oily Skin

"The magical properties of honey are not unknown. Take a glass of rain water and mix it with honey. Wash off with cold water after 30 minutes. This works wonders for oily skin during the monsoon season," notes. Suparna Trikha, a leading Delhi-based beauty expert.

4. Multani Mitti and Clove Oil for Acne

With the shift in season acne also becomes one of the most commonly experienced skin issues. Make an easy pack using 2 tsp of fuller's earth (multani mitti), a pinch of camphor and a couple of drops of clove oil. "Mix this with rose water and apply on the pimples. Let it dry and wash off with fridge cold water," notes Suparna Trikha. Clove oil should be used cautiously as it is hot in property and excessive use can cause the skin to burn.

5. Orange Peel and Lemon Juice for Tan removal

Just in case you are grappling with severe tanning, a combination of orange peel powder and lemon may come handy. Two tablespoons of orange peel powder can be mixed with a few drops of lemon juice. Add sandalwood powder and fuller's earth (one tablespoon each) and make a smooth paste. Apply, keep for 20 minutes and rinse off. "This is also lovely for oily acne prone skin and if fresh acne is present then more of lime juice and orange peel powder should be added," notes Dr. Deepali Bhardwaj, a Delhi-based dermatologist and beauty expert.
