Who needs fancy volcanic ash or Aztec clay when we have our very own fuller's earth? Especially for girls who have greasy skin - these face masks with multanimitti will banish all your oily skin problems with ease.
1. The refreshing pack
Add 2 teaspoons of rose water to 3 tablespoons of multanimitti in a bowl. Mix together and apply the paste liberally over your face and neck. Allow it to dry for 30 minutes until it hardens then wash off with warm water. As rose water balances the PH level of the skin, this face pack will cool and refresh oily skin.
2. The radiant pack
If greasy skin is giving you the wrong kind of shine, here's how to finally get the radiance you've always wanted with multanimitti. To make it, combine 2 tablespoons of curd with a pinch of turmeric and 1 tablespoon of honey. To this, add 2 tablespoons of multanimitti to form a thick paste. Apply it over your face and neck, let it dry for 30 minutes and wash off with warm water. Nani's favourites, turmeric and honey, work wonders with multanimitti to remove dullness and leave skin glowing.
3. The de-tanning pack
If you've spent far too much time sunbathing, this mask is for you. Mix 2 tablespoons of multanimitti with the pulp of half a tomato and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Blend into a paste and apply over your face and neck. In 30 - 40 minutes when it hardens, wash off with cold water. The acidic content of tomato and lemon juice drives away darkened dull skin. Use it every week for a month to see results.
4. The oil-control pack
The best part about multanimitti is its efficient oil absorbency. To make a face pack that soaks up grease and clears the face, combine 1 tablespoon of multanimitti with 1 teaspoon of sandalwood powder, 1 teaspoon of besan (or gram flour) and 2 tablespoons of cold milk. Mix well and apply it all over your face and neck. Leave to harden for about 40 minutes and wash off with cold water.
5. The dark spot pack
To get rid of dark spots, this is the face pack for you. Combine 2 tablespoons of multanimitti with 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 pinch of cinnamon powder and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well into a paste and apply it all over your face and neck. Leave it for 40 minutes, then wash it off with warm water. The bleaching properties of this mask work amazingly to lighten dark spots. Repeat twice a week for a month to see visible results.
