Eating coriander can reduce acidity and thus, help you get rid of various skin eruptions." She also explains while applying coriander on your face, it is most effective when combined with rose water and oatmeal or sandalwood in the form of face packs. This helps in avoiding any sort of allergies and dryness as a result.
