From Dark Circles to Acne: Dr. Anchal Shares Free Desi Skin Remedies That Work

Many people turn to home remedies for skin problems, often applying anything lying around the house. However, this approach can sometimes do more harm than good. Dermatologists advise against self-treatment without proper knowledge, as even minor mistakes—like popping a pimple—can worsen skin issues, causing multiple new breakouts or larger, inflamed pimples.

Are Home Remedies Always Safe?

While home remedies are popular because they use natural ingredients, not all of them are safe. Items like baking soda or lemon juice can cause burns or irritation if applied directly to the skin. It is essential to understand the effects of any ingredient before use.

Dr. Anchal’s Approved Skin Hacks

Dr. Anchal has shared a few simple, effective, and safe home-based tips for common skin concerns:

• Cold Spoon Therapy: A chilled spoon can reduce morning puffiness around the eyes. Freeze a spoon overnight and gently roll it under the eyes to soothe swelling.
• Green Tea Bags: Soaked in cold water and applied over the eyes, green tea bags help reduce dark circles and eye puffiness while giving the skin a temporary glow.
• Honey and Rose Water Pack: Ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, this mixture reduces redness and minimizes open pores. Apply evenly on the face for 15–20 minutes, twice a week, for best results.

These remedies, approved by Dr. Anchal, are natural, safe, and easy to incorporate into daily skincare routines, helping tackle common issues like dark circles, puffiness, and acne without harsh chemicals.
