Everyone yearns to have an attractive and beautiful skin. But, with increasing pollution and impurities around us it can’t be achieved easily. With the impurities, your skin sheds thousands of dead cells every day. If you don’t try to wipe them off, they will block skin pores and interrupt healthy functioning of the skin.
Things like dark spots, dry skin, blackheads, acne and wrinkles start appearing. Chemical creams promise to remove these impurities in their advertising campaign. But often they fail and may trigger allergic reaction in sensitive people. (source)
