DIY face pack for skin care
If your skin often looks tired, dry or lifeless, there is no need to spend on expensive skincare products. A simple DIY face pack can be prepared with some ingredients available at home. This mixture of moringa powder, rice flour and curd can help in making your skin clean and soft.
Moringa contains antioxidant elements, while the lactic acid in curd helps in lightly exfoliating the upper layer of the skin. However, it should not be seen as a treatment for any skin disease.
Ingredients required for Moringa face pack
You will need only three ingredients to make this DIY pack—
- moringa powder
- rice flour
- Curd
If you have acne on your skin, some people also add neem powder to it. But if you are trying it for the first time, it would be better to use only three ingredients.
DIY pack recipe
Add one teaspoon moringa powder and one teaspoon rice flour in a bowl. Mix them well. Then, add curd as required and mix the mixture well.
Keep in mind that the paste should neither be too thin nor too thick.
packing process
Clean your face thoroughly before applying the pack. Then, apply a thin and even layer of the prepared paste on the face. It does not need to dry completely. When the pack starts to dry slightly, wash off gently with normal or lukewarm water.
Avoid rubbing the face vigorously while removing the pack. After cleaning the face, do not forget to apply a light moisturizer.
Importance of curd and rice flour
The lactic acid in curd helps to lightly exfoliate the upper surface of the skin, which can leave the skin clean and soft.
The fine particles of rice flour are helpful in removing dirt from the skin surface. But it is not right to rub it vigorously on the face, as it may cause irritation or redness.
The antioxidant elements present in Moringa can help protect the skin from oxidative stress. However, it cannot be claimed that it will solve all skin problems.
Precautions for sensitive skin
The effect of DIY face pack is not the same on everyone's skin. It is necessary to do a patch test on a small part of the hand or arm before using it for the first time.
If irritation, itching, redness or swelling occurs, wash it off immediately and do not use it again. It is better to consult a dermatologist before trying any new DIY if you have active acne, wounds or extremely sensitive skin.
Therefore, this pack made of moringa, curd and rice flour can be a simple home skincare option, but it should not be used as a cure for skin diseases.
