Home-Made Face Packs For That Spectacular Aura
Besan-Curd Skin Brightening Face Pack
Ingredients:
2 tbsp curd
1 tbsp gram flour or besan
1 tsp multani mitti
1 tbsp rose water
2 drops of vitamin C oil
Method:
Mix all the ingredients to prepare a creamy paste
Apply it evenly on cleansed face
Allow it to dry for 15-20 minutes
Rinse off with lukewarm water
How It Works?
Imbued with powerful anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory traits and the presence of zinc in besan, this face pack gives instant glowing skin and a lighter complexion. While multani mitti absorbs excess sebum and helps unclog pores, rose water tones the skin and tightens the skin.
Aloe Vera- Turmeric Anti-Acne Face Pack
Ingredients:
2 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel
5-6 drops of lemon juice
2 drops of tea tree essential oil
Pinch of turmeric
Method:
Whip up the components well to get a smooth paste
Smear it generously on your face and neck
Wait for 20 minutes till it dries completely and the skin starts to pull
Wash with lukewarm water while rubbing the face gently to remove the turmeric stains
How It Works:
The plethora of antioxidants present in fresh aloe gel not only helps fights bacteria but also soaks in excess oil and helps reflect clear skin. Being a natural source of vitamin C, lemon exhibits astringent qualities which help combat pimples and gives a brighter skin tone. While tea tree oil prevents other skin infections, turmeric imparts an instant glow and radiance.
Cocoa-Honey Anti-Ageing Face Pack
Ingredients:
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp honey
2 drops of vitamin E oil
1 tsp of orange peel powder
Method:
Blend the elements to get a gooey paste
Apply uniformly on the face and neck
Allow it to sit for 15 minutes
Wet your hands and massage your face for a couple of minutes to remove dead skin cells
Slowly remove the face pack using a wet cotton cloth
How It Works?
Infused with antioxidants and exfoliating qualities, cocoa powder not only detoxifies the skin but also lightens tan, diminishes pigmentation and combats the various signs of ageing. While honey being a natural moisturiser furnishes deep moisturisation, vitamin E oil reduces puffiness and tightens the skin. The addition of orange peel powder combats oxidative damage and brightens the skin naturally.
