Natural remedies for skin care
Everyone wants their skin to be clean and glowing. For this people resort to various skincare products. But sometimes even expensive products do not work for everyone's skin. In such a situation, many people include natural things in their skincare routine.
Renowned nutritionist and dietitian Sonia Narang has shared a home recipe in her Instagram video. He has advised to use face pack made of multani mitti and alum for blemishes, pimple marks and hyperpigmentation on the face.
However, it is essential to do a patch test before using any home remedy, especially if you have sensitive skin.
benefits of alum
According to Sonia Narang, alum has exfoliating properties. It can help remove dead skin cells accumulated on the skin surface, making the skin look clearer and fresher.
Removal of dead skin can make the top layer of skin appear smoother. However, there is no guarantee that pigmentation or old spots will disappear completely.
Importance of Multani Mitti
Multani Mitti is especially used by people with oily skin. It helps absorb excess oil and dirt, making the face look less oily and more refreshed.
It is also helpful in removing dead skin, but excessive use may cause dry or irritated skin in some people.
How to make alum and multani mitti face pack?
You don't need a lot of ingredients to make this face pack.
Material:
- 1 gram alum powder
- 5 grams multani mitti
- about 2 teaspoons water
Take multani mitti and alum powder in a bowl. Add water little by little and mix well. When the thick paste is ready, apply it on the face.
How to apply face pack?
Apply the prepared paste gently on the face and leave it for about 20 minutes. After this wash the face with normal water.
Sonia Narang recommends using this face pack 2 times a week, for about 4 weeks.
Points to note before use
Alum and multani mitti do not suit everyone's skin equally. If you have sensitive skin, patch test a small amount on your hands or near your jaw before applying it to your entire face.
Discontinue use if irritation, redness, itching or excessive dryness occurs. Also, if pimples, hyperpigmentation or blemishes are there for a long time, it is better to consult a dermatologist instead of home remedies.
