1. Chamomile Tea and Fuller’s Earth (Multani Mitti) Pack
Chamomile flower is great for the skin. The flower is of European origin, but has been cultivated in India for a few centuries now. If you can get your hands on fresh chamomile flowers, nothing better, otherwise strained chamomile tea will do nicely. Chamomile regenerates skin cells and its anti-bacterial properties will fight off acne causing germs.
Strain half a cup of chamomile tea (without sugar) and mix it with 3 tea spoons fuller’s earth. Apply this pack twice a week to remove blackheads, deep-lodged dirt and dead skin cells.
2. Pearl Powder Mask (not as expensive as you might think)
Pearls are made of minerals & amino acids which benefit the skin. Pearls that aren’t fit for necklaces are crushed to powder which, beyond cosmetic applications, have multiple medicinal uses. Take quarter of a spoon of pearl powder and add a few drops of rose water, drops at a time, until you get a paste that you can apply with your fingers. Leave it on your skin for a few minutes and wash off with normal water. This will get rid of imperfections and give you smooth radiant skin.
3. Sandalwood and Yogurt Lactobacillus, a good bacterium, does two wonderful things – first, it curdles milk into yogurt and second, it makes your skin shiny. The secret face pack we are about to discuss now makes use of this wonderful probiotic.
Take a couple of teaspoons of sandalwood powder, add 3 spoons of fresh yogurt, add a few drops of rose water and your face pack is ready. Keep it on your skin (face, neck & arms) for 15 minutes before bath.
You can also try our Summer Care Combo pack, which contains Grape Seed Mask, Walnut Scrub & Carrot Cream.
