- Curd (Yogurt): Rich in lactic acid, curd helps exfoliate dead skin cells, lighten pigmentation, and improve skin texture. Its probiotics also help balance the skin’s microbiome, promoting a healthy glow.
- Aloe Vera Gel: Soothes and hydrates the skin while promoting collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation over time.
- Vitamin E Oil: A powerful antioxidant that helps repair and protect the skin from free radical damage, it also promotes skin healing and improves texture, reducing the appearance of dark spots and scars.
