First up, we have the age-old classic
Besan (Gram Flour) Face Pack. This is your everyday, super effective, skin-loving best friend. Besan acts as a gentle exfoliator, removing dead skin cells and revealing brighter skin underneath. It also helps control oil production, making it perfect for those with oily or combination skin.
To make this magic potion, simply mix two tablespoons of besan with enough rose water or plain water to form a smooth paste. You can add a pinch of turmeric (haldi) for extra glow and antiseptic properties.
Apply this evenly to your face and neck, let it dry for about 15-20 minutes, and then gently scrub it off with water. Hello, fresh and radiant skin! You can use milk as an alternative, if your skin is too dry. You can also add a spoon of curd for added benefits.
This simple pack can do wonders for your skin leaving it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Besan has been passed down through generations for its beneficial properties.
Neem Face Pack: Acne superhero with antibacterial properties, purge toxins, use weekly
Next on our list is the Neem Face Pack, a superhero for acne-prone skin. Neem is known for its powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a fantastic remedy for pimples, blemishes, and skin infections. To prepare this, grind a handful of fresh neem leaves into a paste.
If fresh leaves are not available, you can use neem powder, which is easily available at most herbal stores. Mix the neem paste or powder with a little water or rose water to form a smooth consistency.
Apply it to your face, focusing on affected areas, and let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing off with cool water. Fair warning! This pack has a strong smell, but trust me, your skin will thank you for it!
Consistency is the key with this pack; regular use will help purify your skin of toxins. Try using this pack once a week. If you have sensitive skin, you can dilute with some curd or honey.
Hydrating Aloe Vera and Honey Mask for Dry Skin
Our third wonder is the Aloe Vera and Honey Mask, a hydration champion for dry and sensitive skin. Aloe vera is a natural moisturizer that soothes and heals the skin, while honey is a humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture.
Together, they create a powerhouse duo that leaves your skin feeling soft, supple, and glowing. Simply scoop out the gel from an aloe vera leaf (or use store-bought pure aloe vera gel) and mix it with a tablespoon of honey.
Apply this mixture to your face and neck, let it sit for about 20 minutes, and then rinse off with lukewarm water. This mask is especially beneficial during the dry winter months when your skin needs extra hydration. Honey adds a light fragrance and also protects against bacteria.
This is the easiest pack to prepare at home and can be used everyday. Store bought pure aloe vera gel is acceptable as long as there are no additives.
Multani mitti pack: oil-absorbing cleanser for oily skin
Moving on, we have the Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth) Pack, an oil-absorbing marvel and deep cleanser. Multani mitti is known for its ability to draw out impurities from the skin, making it perfect for oily and acne-prone skin. It also helps tighten pores and improve skin tone.
Mix two tablespoons of multani mitti with enough rose water or plain water to form a smooth paste. You can add a teaspoon of lemon juice for extra brightening and antibacterial benefits. Apply it to your face and neck, let it dry completely, and then rinse off with water.
Be careful not to leave it on for too long, as it can dry out your skin excessively. A pro tip: If you have dry skin, add a few drops of almond oil or olive oil to the paste to counter the drying effect. Multani Mitti is readily available at almost all stores.
Sandalwood face pack soothes skin, imparts glow, and calms irritation. Apply and relax
Now, let’s talk about the Sandalwood (Chandan) Face Pack, a fragrant remedy for soothing and brightening the skin. Sandalwood has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for calming irritated skin and reducing redness. It also helps even out skin tone and imparts a natural glow.
Mix sandalwood powder with rose water or milk to form a smooth paste. Apply it to your face and neck, let it dry for about 20 minutes, and then rinse off with water. The aroma of sandalwood is incredibly relaxing, turning your skincare routine into a mini aromatherapy session!
You can find sandalwood powder at most shops selling puja supplies, but make sure it is pure sandalwood. If you have an allergy, you will need to skip applying sandalwood.
Turmeric and yogurt face pack for radiant skin
Our sixth secret weapon is the Turmeric (Haldi) and Yogurt Face Pack, a radiance booster with a traditional twist. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that helps brighten the skin, reduce pigmentation, and promote healing.
Yogurt contains lactic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin and improves its texture. Mix a teaspoon of turmeric powder with two tablespoons of plain yogurt to form a paste. Apply this evenly to your face and neck, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then rinse off with lukewarm water.
Be mindful! Turmeric can stain the skin, so don’t leave it on for too long and cleanse your face thoroughly afterward. This is ideal for days when you are looking dull and want to add an instant glow. Use this pack before a special occasion for the best results.
Revitalizing Cucumber and Mint Face Pack for refreshed skin
Last but not the least, we have the Cucumber and Mint Face Pack, a refreshing treat for tired and dull skin. Cucumber is hydrating and cooling, while mint has antiseptic and invigorating properties. Together, they create a revitalizing mask that leaves your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Blend half a cucumber with a few fresh mint leaves until you get a smooth paste. Apply this paste to your face and neck, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then rinse off with cool water. This is a great treatment for soothing sunburned skin or reducing puffiness around the eyes.
The cooling sensation of cucumber and mint is perfect for hot summer days when your skin needs a little pick-me-up. Store this pack in a refrigerator for better results. Your skin will feel hydrated.
Always do a patch test before trying a new face pack to prevent allergic reactions
Remember to always do a patch test before applying any new face pack to ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.
To do a patch test, simply apply a small amount of the face pack to a discreet area of your skin, such as the inside of your elbow, and wait for 24 hours to see if any irritation occurs. If you experience any redness, itching, or swelling, discontinue use immediately.
Listen to your skin and adjust the recipes as needed to suit your individual needs and preferences. Experiment with different combinations of ingredients to create your own personalized herbal facial treatments. Most importantly, enjoy the process and embrace the beauty of natural skincare.
After all, glowing skin is always in! So go ahead, make these packs and share with your friends and family. Skin that is happy is always the best kind of skin.
