Over the years, it has been noticed that simple homemade DIY tricks have always worked well and it is always a bonus to consume healthy smoothies especially in summers
Over the years, numerous skincare actives have gained popularity, with Retinol emerging as a widely recognised compound. As a form of vitamin A, Retinol is renowned for its effectiveness in treating acne and possessing anti-ageing properties. However, many skincare manufacturers market products containing this ingredient at exorbitant prices, therefore limiting accessibility for those facing skin issues.
Consequently, there’s a growing interest in homemade, cost-effective alternatives to Retinol. These alternatives offer a simplified skincare routine while eliminating concerns about potential side effects that could exacerbate skin problems.

How to prepare the drink-
