Delhi’s Rising Heat Calls For My Go-To Curd And Multani Mitti Face Pack For Cooling, De-Tanned Skin

As the temperatures rise in Delhi, the scorching summer sun and pollution leave your skin looking dull and tanned. Making it an apt time for simple yet effective homemade skincare face packs, which are better than chemical-based harsh products. One of my go-to homemade face packs during summer is a cooling and refreshing face pack, made with curd and Multani Mitti.

Curd and multani mitti, also known as fuller’s earth, have been a part of Indian traditional skincare for ages and are known fpr soothing dry and tanned skin during summer. Curd acts as a wonderful exfoliating agent due to the presence of lactic acid in it. It helps in lightening the complexion of the face and at the same time provides hydration and cools the face. Multani Mitti works as a wonderful cleanser. It helps in removing oil from the face and cleanses the face of all impurities accumulated due to sweating and pollution.

Ingredients To Make Curd And Multani Mitti Face Pack:

- 2 spoons powdered multani mitti (Fuller’s Earth)

- 2 spoons of curd

- 2 spoons of rose water

How I Make Curd And Multani Mitti Face Pack For Summer Season:

1. I begin with washing my face with a gentle face wash.

2. Then I pat my face dry with a paper towel.

3. To make my go-to summer face pack, I take a clean bowl, mix two spoons of multani mitti in curd, and pour in a drop of rose water. And lastly, I stir it well to make a light-yellow muddy mix.

5. I keep this mask for 8-15 minutes, till the time it fully dries.

6. I personally prefer not to speak while the mask is drying, to avoid stretching my face’s skin. You can also keep two round-shaped cucumber pieces on your eyes for that extra hydration.

7. After the face pack has dried fully, I wet my hands and gently scrub the pack for 30 seconds or 1 minute.

8. Lastly, I wash off my face and apply my light-weight favourite moisturiser.
