9 Homemade Substitutes for Beauty Products You Use Daily

1. Natural Dry Shampoo for Oily Hair
Do you feel the need to wash your hair every other day? Or do you have an oily scalp? Here's what you can do instead of using shampoo too often.
Ingredients:
2 and a 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch (preferably organic)
3-4 drops of essential oil (lavender or rose)
Procedure:
Mix both ingredients and lightly dust it on your scalp. Wait for 5 minutes and remove the excess powder with a brush. Cornstarch will soak in almost all the oil and dirt leaving your hair feeling clean and fresh.

2. Natural Blackhead Remover
Baking powder is great to exfoliate and loosen up dead skin and remove blackheads, and dirt lurking underneath the surface.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon baking soda
Water (preferably mineral)
Procedure:
Mix the two ingredients to obtain a slightly wet paste-like consistency. Apply it on your nose and let it dry completely. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse.

3. Natural Face Pack for Glowing Skin
This is one of my grandmother’s secrets for bright and glowing skin. Gram flour is great for improving uneven skin tone and milk has a very soothing effect on the skin.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons gram flour (besan)
1 tablespoon milk (raw)
Procedure:
Mix all ingredients to make a paste and apply the mixture evenly on your face. Let it sit for 10 minutes and then rinse your face with lukewarm water.
