I have a
very oily and sensitive skin, which is prone to acne. Any change in my skin
care routine leaves me face with big scary zits. :( Moreover,
the hormonal changes also result in formation of pimples. How I hate those painful outbursts, cannot be expressed in words. Hence, I have to be very
careful with what products I use on my face and what I eat.
Besides
regular cleansing and toning, I use a special homemade face pack that helps to
get rid of acne as well as acne scars. This is a simple face pack, which can be
easily made in some steps with all the stuffs you have n your kitchen.
All you need
to do it gather them with some patience and take some time to relax while the
pack is on your face.
Things you will need:
- Multani mitti (Fuller’s Earth):
Multani
mitti is known to do wonders for acne prone skin. It possesses cooling properties
that pacifies skin, alleviates inflammation caused due to acne, and at the same
time reduces further outbreaks. When used in face pack, multani mitti reduces oiliness
of the skin and makes you look fresh and radiant.
Rose water:
Rose water is
one of the best natural treatments for skin. Regularly using rose water to
clean your face will get rid of numerous skin problems.
Turmeric Powder:
No food
cooked in our country is ever complete without the use of turmeric. Turmeric
powder has a number of uses. In addition to its curative powers, turmeric
powder has a host of beauty benefits also. Turmeric not only reduces skin
pigmentation but also evens out your skin tone. It also effectively condenses
the appearance of acne and other ageing marks. It is ideal to be used as body
scrub to reduce stretch marks.
Lemon juice:
Lemon is
known to possess effective natural disinfectant properties that assist to clean
up unnecessary infections leading to break outs. Lemon juice has natural acids that
effectively destroy the acne causing bacteria. Even simply applying lemon juice
to infected areas will prevent out breaks and also gradually lighten the acne
scars.
How to make the pack:
Mix all the
ingredients in a bowl one by one as shown in the images below and blend it well
to make a thick pack. Remember you just have to add 2 to 3 drops of lemon
juice. If you are allergic to lemon avoid using it. You can add tomato juice
instead.
Apply the pack
thickly to the affected areas and allow it to dry. Place two cucumber pieces on
your eyes or cotton pads soaked in Rose Water to get maximum benefits. Wash it
off with luke warm water once the pack is dried.
