Flowers, no matter the variety, are a beautiful gift from Mother Nature. Not only do they look beautiful, they also ease your worries and sweep you off with their fragrance. But did you know they can give you beautiful skin? Yes ladies, they can when used in these homemade face packs for instant glow. 

There’s more to flowers than aesthetic and aroma. In fact, they contain several properties that are great for your skin. Whether you have acne or pigmentation, say goodbye to your skin problems with these floral face packs. 

Here’s what you need to remember: soak these flowers in one to two tablespoons of water for a few hours, before you use it for a face pack. This will make it easier for you to grind them, and later use it to apply it on your face. 

1. Marigold and honey
Marigolds are a common sight during the festival season, especially Diwali. They look pretty and have a great aroma, and at the same time, contains vitamin C in high quantities. You may not know but vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can protect your skin from all kinds of ageing and sun damage. That’s not all — it will also help you get glowing skin!

You can also add some honey to moisturise your skin. Moreover, honey has antibacterial properties that give smooth and supple skin, and keeps acne at bay.

Here’s how to make this face pack: Crush the petals of two marigold flowers, and mix it with one teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of water. Put this mask on your face for 20 minutes, before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.

5. Lotus, milk and honey
We’ve recently discovered the wonders of lotus for our skin, owing to the high levels of fatty acids and protein content!
