multani-mitti-for-oily-skin-5-homemade-face-packs-to-try

Multani mitti, also known as fuller's earth, is a mineral-rich clay commonly used to cleanse the skin. Its ability to absorb excess oil makes it a popular ingredient for homemade face packs intended for oily skin.

1. Rose water face pack

For a cooling and refreshing mask, combine 3 tablespoons of multani mitti with 2 teaspoons of rose water. Spread the mixture over the face and neck, and leave it on for 30 minutes or until it dries and hardens. Rinse with warm water. Rose water is used in this pack to help balance the skin's pH level.

2. Curd, turmeric and honey pack

Mix 2 tablespoons of curd with a pinch of turmeric and 1 tablespoon of honey. Add 2 tablespoons of multani mitti and blend everything into a thick paste. Apply it to the face and neck, allow it to dry for 30 minutes, and wash it off with warm water. The combination of turmeric and honey with multani mitti is intended to reduce dullness and give the skin a brighter appearance.

3. Tomato and lemon de-tan pack

Sun-exposed skin can be treated with a pack made from 2 tablespoons of multani mitti, the pulp of half a tomato and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix the ingredients into a paste and apply it to the face and neck. Once the mask has hardened after 30 to 40 minutes, rinse it away with cold water. The acidic content of tomato and lemon juice is used to address the appearance of darkened, dull skin. The pack can be used once a week for a month.

4. Oil-control pack

To prepare a mask aimed at absorbing excess oil, combine 1 tablespoon of multani mitti with 1 teaspoon each of sandalwood powder and besan, or gram flour. Add 2 tablespoons of cold milk and mix thoroughly. Apply the paste across the face and neck, leave it on for about 40 minutes until it dries, and wash off with cold water.

5. Honey and cinnamon pack for dark spots

For a dark-spot mask, mix 2 tablespoons of multani mitti with 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 pinch of cinnamon powder and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the prepared paste to the face and neck and leave it on for 40 minutes. Rinse with warm water. The pack is described as having lightening properties for dark spots and can be repeated twice a week for a month for visible results.
