Corn mask to get rid of sun tan and deep cleanse your skin

February 1, 2022 Written by GP Team

Corn is rich in folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin A, because of this it has many health benefits for skin and hair but only a few of us know about the beauty benefits of corn. Vitamin C housed in cornflour stimulates collagen production and helps to tighten the skin. It also fastens the healing process, treats sunburn and fades scars. Free radicals that are responsible for unhealthy skin gets killed by antioxidant property of vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C can neutralize free radicals and replace them. Vitamin A in cornflour postpones aging wrinkles and gives the skin firmness. Phytic acid in cornflour has antioxidant property, which thwarts free radicals. Assorted nutrients in corn starch absorb excess sebum/oil secreted by the body and treats suntan.

Below I have given recipes for a face mask that are prepared using cornflour.
