Aloe vera gel

Not every one is a fan of using heavy moisturizers in winters, you can extract a spoon full of aloe vera gel and mix it with Vitamin E oil, from a capsule and apply it as a moisturizer in the winters to get rid of itchy, flaky skin.

Banana Face Mask

Take a ripe banana, mash it up, mix it with a few drops of honey and apply to your face for a nourishing effect. Keep it on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off. Do this once a week for maintaining your skin’s health.
