Have a look at these 1o effective home remedies for clear & smooth skin.

Wash less Your Face:

You may think the key to smooth skin is a super clean face, but that's not true. In fact, too much washing will probably do more damage than good. It's important to gently remove makeup and actual dirt from the skin, but it's a bit of a myth that we have to scrub ourselves squeaky clean two or three times daily because sometimes over washing can produce the same over-dryness and irritation that anti-aging products can create. When we wash too much and strip away the skin's natural, healthy, moisturizing oils, we create redness and flakiness, and the skin actually gets a counterproductive signal to start producing more oil to keep itself protected. This is how we can end up both dry and oily at the same time. Reduce the amount of cleansing and let the skin relax.

One more thing — when you do cleanse, NYC dermatologist and host of DermTV.com (1) Dr. Neal Schultz says, "Make sure you use a toner after your cleanser to synergize with your cleanser in removing clogging dirt, debris, oil and dead skin cells and to remove cleanser that your water rinse didn't remove."

And Dr. Schultz is one to trust, being that he's creator of Beauty by Dr. Schultz (2) 

Choose appropriate Cleanser according to skin:

Skin can range from dry to oily and in between. When picking out a cleanser, choose one that matches your skin type. It will say on the bottle whether it's for oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, or all skin types.(3)

Choose a mild cleanser, such as one that says "for sensitive skin." Harsh scrubs can damage your skin(4)

Leftover cleanser equals leftover dirt and oil. Rinse with tepid water until skin feels clean and smooth and no longer slippery or soapy. Hot water dries out your skin, and cold water won't open up your pores(5).

Protect your skin from the sun:

The sun can damage your skin over time, making it age faster. To protect your skin, use a daily sunscreen. Avoid the sun, particularly at the hottest part of the day, and wear clothing that covers your skin, including a hat, sunglasses, pants, and a long-sleeved shirt.(6)

Cucumber lemon with mint:

Cucumber is cooling for the body and rejuvenates the skin(7).Lemon restores the balance in your digestive system, thus eliminating one of the most common reasons for developing spots and acne(8). Mint leaves aid in regulating indigestion and clearing any internal infections (9) 

You will need:

1. 2 liters,water
2. 1 cucumber
3. 1 lemon
4. A handful of mint leaves
5. A pitcher

 How to Use:

1. Slice the cucumber and lemon and drop the pieces in an empty pitcher. Add the mint leaves as well.
2. Pour water over these and refrigerate.
3. Keep sipping this water all day long.
4.   You can continue having this detox water for clear and smooth skin

Exfoliate Your Skin:

If you really want smooth skin, get rid of the dead, flaky skin on the surface. "It's a myth that exfoliation can dry or thin the skin.Regular exfoliation speeds up the cell turnover process, allowing the body to produce moisture-bearing properties like hyaluronic acid. Exfoliation also helps to plump the skin by churning up elastin and collagen production (10)

Daily Exercise:

Exercise is important to staying healthy and keeping your skin clear,  and Dr. Ava Shamban suggests(11) exercising for about 15 minutes a day to keep toxins in your body at bay and maintain clear skin.

Clean your makeup brush:

Sometimes even after you wash, there's makeup left on your skin, and that buildup leads to breakouts. Using an exfoliating brush with your basic cleanser loosens and removes the leftover makeup that has seeped inside your pores! The brush can get deeper into your skin than just your soaped-up fingers.

Every two weeks or so. The amount of product and bacteria build up that happens within two weeks is frightening, and the longer you wait to clean the brushes the longer you’re putting the bacteria right on your skin, causing breakouts. Use warm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap to clean your brushes, lying flat to dry to avoid any warping that can happen(12)

You need to clean your phone too:

If you're seeing pimples on your cheeks or anywhere near the area where you hold your phone, they may be from those hour-long convos with your crush. Your phone picks up lots of dirt and bacteria (from your hands, your bag, the kitchen counter), which can then get transferred to your face when you're chatting on the phone. Wipe your screen with an antibacterial wipe often to get rid of dirt and germs.

Green Tea for Clear Skin:

Daily consumption of green tea is recommended by doctors for a healthy body and also for healthy and clear skin. Green tea is full of antioxidants that will nourish, heal, and detoxify your body. The condition of your body from the inside is reflected on your skin. Green tea is also good to reduce blood cholesterols levels and maintain optimum heart and bone health(13)

You will need:

1. Green tea bag
2. A cup of hot water
3. Sugar to taste
4. Lemon juice to taste

How to Use:

1. Steep the green tea bag in the hot water for a few minutes.
2. Remove the tea bag and add sugar and lemon juice to suit your taste.
3. Sip this herbal tea while it is warm.
4. Drink two or three cups of green tea in a day..

Stay Hydrated:

Drinking water is essential for your body to function well, and that includes your skin. If you're dehydrated, your skin will also dry out. Drink enough water so that you don't feel thirsty, which is usually enough to keep your skin hydrated.(14)

Women should aim to drink at least 2.2 liters (0.6 US gal) or nine cups of water a day.(15)

Guys should aim to drink at least three liters (13 cups) of water a day.
