Who wouldn't like to visit the salon every other week? It's an hour (or more) of perfect me-time, and while you might have drifted off to dreamland, when you're at the billing desk, you cringe just a bit. Which is why we listed out our tried and tested skin savers that are guaranteed to make you fabulous without burning a hole in your pocket.
Papaya Face Scrub
Apart from its health benefits, Papaya also scores high in the beauty department. Mash half an unripe papaya into a bowl and add to it a quarter cup of honey with a quarter cup of brown sugar and mix gently. Leave this paste on your skin for fifteen minutes and then scrub in light circular motions to gently exfoliate. While the enzymes of the papaya will get rid of dead skin cells, the honey acts as a moisturiser, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Cinnamon and honey for Acne
Acne can find you no matter what age you are. And chances are that when you finally spot that nasty pimple, everyone else can too. Head over to your kitchen and mix a teaspoon of honey with half a teaspoon of powdered cinnamon into a paste. Apply it on the pimple and leave overnight. Cinnamon and honey both act instantly to stop the growth of infection (bacteria/fungi.) Alternately, if you?re dealing with dark spots or acne remnants, applying lime juice for a few minutes every now and then can help make them lighter.
Green Tea Bags for your Eyes
Green tea, among its many benefits, can also help deal with puffy eyes. Moisten tea bags in hot water for 30 seconds and leave them to cool in the refrigerator for about half an hour. Then, place them on your eyes for 15-20 minutes. Since green tea has anti-inflammatory properties it works by restricting the blood flow and reducing puffiness. It?s a great solution for tired eyes and dark circles as well.
