Abstract: In the current scenario, natural products are in great demand in every sector including cosmetics. Natural herbs are now been widely exploited for skin care products as other products used for skin problems do not deliver the desired results and are very expensive. The biggest drawback result of the chemical- based products is the associated side effects which augment the problem of the skin. Nobody would like to go for the use of such expansive products and that too, without getting the desired result when natural herbs are available as a competent alternative. Herbs have all the properties that can correct skin problems without any side effects. The most important aspects are that these herbs can be easily found in the kitchen. Skin problems like hyperpigmentation, sun burning, acne, wrinkles, and dark spots occur in all age groups in humans today. Herbs like cilantro, garlic, chamomile, ashwagandha, saffron, licorice, cinnamon, sandalwood, green tea and aloe vera etc. These herbs have amazing properties like harmful UV rays protection, fight acne, reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation and reduce wrinkles [Aarohi, A, 2019]. We can use herbs or natural herbs products as home remedies. Most of the herbs possess these three properties i.e., cleanser, toner and moisturizer and hence can be used. In this review, the author will discuss about the use of ten different herbs which can do miracles for skin. Solutions to our skin problems were hidden in the herbs of our house.
