Coconut oil works best for a dry and dull skin. The oil locks the moisture in the skin and also nourishes it with essential fatty acids. Its phenolic compounds contribute to its antioxidant activity and give you glowing skin.

Warm the oil lightly and gently apply the oil on your skin every night just before going to bed.

2. Lemon and sugar

While the lemon cleanses, bleaches, and also removes tan, the sugar helps to get rid of dead cells.
