Multani mitti helps remove excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from the skin. When used correctly, it can leave the skin clean, soft, and glowing. However, every skin type is different, so it’s important to use it according to your skin type.
Ways to apply Multani Mitti on the skin
Make a classic face pack with rose water.
If you have oily or combination skin, mix multani mitti with rose water to create a paste. Apply it to your face for 15 minutes and then rinse with plain water. This helps remove excess oil, clear pores, and refresh your face.
Use with honey:
For those with dry skin, adding a teaspoon of honey to multani mitti may be a better option. Honey helps moisturize the skin, while multani mitti cleanses impurities. This leaves the skin feeling clean and soft.
Add yogurt for instant freshness.
The lactic acid in yogurt helps gently exfoliate the skin. Applying a mixture of multani mitti and yogurt to the face can leave the skin looking clean and fresh. It is also believed to help reduce tanning.
Apply with aloe vera gel.
For sensitive skin, mixing fresh aloe vera gel with multani mitti (fuller’s earth) can be a good option. Aloe vera soothes and hydrates the skin, while multani mitti helps remove excess oil and dirt.
Enhance your complexion by adding sandalwood powder.
Prepare a face pack by mixing a little sandalwood powder and rose water with multani mitti. This can help soothe the skin and improve the complexion. This pack is especially popular during the summer.
Make a brightening pack with gram flour and turmeric.
Mix a teaspoon of fuller’s earth with a little gram flour, a pinch of turmeric, and rose water to form a paste. Applying this once a week can deeply cleanse the skin and make it appear clearer and brighter.
