- Remove dead cells
Red lentils help remove dead skin cells and promote cell regeneration for smooth, glowing skin.

- Removes tan
Red lentils can effectively remove sun tan from the skin, by exfoliating dead cells and pigments, gradually lightening the tanned skin.

Using a red lentil face mask can help fight acne, blackheads and whiteheads.

Red lentils are high in fiber, which helps detoxify and promote clear skin. They also help fade scars and acne marks.
