Masoor dal is considered a natural exfoliator, but there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness, warns consultant dermatologist Dr. Rinky Kapoor.

Leaving masoor dal mixture on the skin for too long can cause harmful side effects like irritation, clogged pores, inflammation, and allergic reactions.

Jasmin Bhasin also suggested a DIY scrub for reducing dark circles, mixing coffee with sugar and applying it under the eyes.

While coffee is known for its skincare benefits, applying it directly on the face can lead to under-eye dryness, irritation, breakout, and micro-tears, advises Dr. Kapoor.
