  1. This is something! I had no idea about this especially the acne one is surprising. My scalp definitely needs a detox, guess, will try the method you have suggested. Thank you Rima. 🙂

  2. You are absolutely right Rima. I have a toner from Khadi which contains Bay leaves along many other things. It is acting as a miracle. Within 3 days of using people around me noticed my acne marks are fading and i got a nice glow. I did not know it that time but after reading your article realised that the effect was due to the Tejpatta. Thanks for sharing the info dear 🙂
