Published on September 13, 2019, this article highlights the versatility of corn flour in beauty routines.

Exfoliating is an essential part of any skincare routine, and corn flour can be used to achieve a smooth, radiant complexion. Simply dampen your face and gently rub maize flour in circular motions, followed by a normal face cleanser and moisturizer.

For an added exfoliating boost, mix the flour with honey and tea tree oil to create a face mask. Leave it on for seven minutes before rinsing off and moisturizing.

Looking for a way to achieve a perfect matte finish on your nails? Try adding a pinch of cornflour to your topcoat for a flawless, matte finish.

Deodorant is a must-have in any beauty routine, and corn flour can be used to create a natural, effective deodorant. Simply rub some flour on your underarms after showering, or mix it with coconut oil for an added layer of protection.

For a stunning, matte lipstick finish, apply your lipstick as usual and dust some cornflour on top until it's fully absorbed.
