Lifestyle Desk – As soon as the festival of Rakshabandhan arrives, the preparations start. Along with clothes, jewelery and makeup, special attention is also given to the skin. Everyone wants the face to look fresh, glowing and healthy on festival days. Especially if a photo has to be taken on the occasion of Rakhi, the glow of the face matters even more. In such a situation, instead of expensive skin care products, a face pack made from some things available at home can be tried. Let us know which face pack to use and how.
Make face pack with gram flour, curd and honey
For this face pack, you need 1 teaspoon gram flour, 1 teaspoon plain curd and half teaspoon honey. Mix all three things well and prepare a smooth paste. Apply it in a light layer on a clean face and leave it for about 10-15 minutes. Wash off gently with normal water before the pack dries completely. After this you can apply light moisturizer on the face.
Gram flour has been used in traditional home skin care. It can help remove excess oil and dirt from the skin surface. The lactic acid present in curd can have a mild exfoliating effect on the upper layer of the skin, while honey helps in moisturizing the skin. Due to these reasons, this pack can make the skin look soft and fresh for some time.
It is not necessary to apply it daily
It is not right to use any face pack daily to get quick results before the festival. Repeatedly applying the pack, especially on sensitive or acne-prone skin, may cause irritation, redness or dryness. Therefore do not use it more than 2-3 times a week. It would also be better to do a patch test on a small part of the face before using it for the first time.
Stay away from lemon and baking soda
Things like lemon and baking soda are often used in home remedies, but applying them directly on the face can cause harm. Lemon can irritate the skin and increase sensitivity to sunlight, while baking soda can affect the skin's natural barrier. Therefore, it is wise to avoid such remedies for glow.
Glow will not come only with face pack
Do not depend only on face packs to keep your skin healthy and fresh till Rakshabandhan. Drink enough water, get enough sleep, and use sunscreen during the day. If there is a problem of persistent pimples, spots, itching or irritation on the face, then it is better to consult a dermatologist instead of using home remedies.
