Treat your skin with natural ingredients this summer

Anju Majeed, senior scientist and director at Sami Labs, suggests how: 

* PteroWhite: A natural skin lightening ingredient containing a minimum of 90 percent Pterostilbene from a purely natural source, the heartwood of Indian Kino (Pterocarpus marsupium). 

* Galanga extract (a herb from the Ginger family): It is a standardized extract from Kaempferia galangal roots and contains a minimum of 98 percent Ethyl p-methoxycinnamic acid. Galanga extract affords a dual benefit to the skin. It affords skin lightening benefits as well as protects the skin from photo-damage. It also reduces the appearance of scars and fights against age.

* Caffeine: It is obtained from the coffea robusta beans. It is said to protect the skin from photo-damage.

* Barley Beta Glucans: It is extracted from Barley (Hordeum vulgare) seeds having not less than 25 percent beta-glucans and is known to promote moisturization and offering UV protection.

* Turmeric powder and honey: They can work as a treatment to skin on sun burns alongside keeping the moisture of the skin balanced.
