Is your skin frequently prone to acne and blemishes? Environmental factors such as pollution, heat, dust, grime, loading up on beauty products on a daily basis can take a serious toll on your skin and give rise to acne and other skin issues. Tulsi benefits reflect on your skin when you consume it as well as when applied topically.

Tulsi helps get rid of dirt, grime, and flush out the toxins from your skin, giving it a revitalized look. While most commercial skin cleansers cleanse the skin leaving it feeling extremely dry, Tulsi is known to deeply unclog skin pores and hydrate them. The antibacterial, anti-inflammatory properties of Tulsi help purify the blood and remove toxins when consumed. Being astringent in nature, Tulsi soaks up the excess oil and dry up the acne when it is applied as a face mask.

Mix one tablespoon of Tulsi powder with a teaspoon of sandalwood powder and a few drops of rose water and apply on face. Once it dries completely, rinse with cool water.  Repeat this 2-3 times a week for effective results.
