Holy basil (Tulasi) helps clear out the skin of blemishes & acne. It is rich in antioxidants that help to prevent premature ageing.
Spinach is indeed good for your overall health. It is loaded with carotenes, amino acids, iron, iodine, potassium & magnesium, Vitamins A, C, K, E & B complex. Spinach particularly plays an important role in controling the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles.

Coriander is rich in powerful antioxidants like vitamin C & E and fights against free radicals that damage the skin.
Curry leaves are high in antioxidants, contain anti-microbial properties as well as some essential vitamins for the skin, such as vitamin A & C, which are very helpful in keeping the skin healthy.
