Gram flour, known as besan in Hindi is the flour that is prepared after grinding roasted or raw chickpeas. Gram flour possesses anti-bacterial properties that treat acne. The presence of zinc in besan fights the infections that cause the face to erupt with acne. Apart from this, gram flour also controls excess sebum production and soothes inflamed skin. Turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components which contribute to the glow and lustre of the skin. Home Remedy Of The Week: Turmeric-Honey DIY Mask For Glowing Skin And Treating Acne Naturally (Watch Video)
