Those who apply multani mitti on face should be careful, in the desire of glow you are making yourself age before time: – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: ‘Multani Mitti’ (Fuller’s Earth) is considered to be the best home remedy to remove extra oil from the face and get rid of pimples and acne. But, according to Ayurveda and skin experts, this ‘magical soil’ is not a boon for everyone. If your skin type is not suitable for it or you are making a mistake in applying it, then it can increase wrinkles and dryness on your face.

Let us know about those side effects of Multani Mitti, which people often ignore.

1. Wrinkles may increase on the face (Increased Wrinkles)

Multani Mitti has skin tightening properties. When it dries on the face, the skin stretches. If you leave it on for too long or talk while wearing it, the chances of ‘fine lines’ and wrinkles on the face increases. It can reduce the elasticity of your skin.

2. ‘Enemy’ for those with dry skin

If your skin is already dry, using multani mitti can make it worse. It completely absorbs the natural oil (Sebum) of the skin, due to which the face starts looking flaky and lifeless. People with dry skin should use it only by adding honey or milk.

3. Risk of rashes on sensitive skin

Multani mitti can be quite harsh for those with sensitive skin. Its use may cause redness, itching or burning sensation on the skin. Such people must do a ‘patch test’ before applying it on their face.

4. Problem of cold and cough

Multani Mitti has a very cool nature. According to Ayurveda, people who have sinus, asthma or are prone to catching colds should avoid this paste, especially during the winter season. Applying it on the face for a long time can cause chest tightness.

Right way to apply Multani Mitti (Best Way to Apply)

Time Limit: Never let it dry completely (becoming stone-like) on the face. Wash the face only when it is slightly wet (about 10-12 minutes).

Mixing: Use rose water for oily skin and raw milk or curd for dry skin.

Frequency: Use it only 1 or 2 times a week.
