Bring back that glow with these DIY tamarind face packs

The first thing that comes to your mind when you hear of the word tamarind or imli is chutney. Aren’t we right? But what if we tell you that it can also work well as a beauty product? In fact, if you are dealing with pale and dull skin, a tamarind face pack can bring back that bride-like glow back in no time.

Sounds too good to be true? But you just can’t deny the fact.

Imli is loaded with minerals and vitamins, making it a powerhouse. It has several skin benefits and can also heal skin inflammation to a great extent. Regular consumption and application of tamarind can reduce blemishes and keep the skin soft.

According to Dr Nivedita Dadu, renowned dermatologist, founder and chairman of Dr Nivedita Dadu’s Dermatology Clinic with HealthShots, tamarind works as a natural skin protector.

Here’s what she has to say, “From an exfoliating agent to an anti-blemish and pigmentation manager, tamarind works brilliantly for the skin. It is a good source of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), which is one of the major ingredients in various leading exfoliating creams. These ingredients help to remove dirt and impurities that lie deep inside the skin, finally unclogging clogged skin pores. It also has an anti-aging effect on your skin. This is due to the presence of alpha-hydroxy acids in tamarind.”
