Who doesn’t enjoy wearing the face pack and that relaxation? These are typically a quick way to get glowing skin and save you half a day from getting a spa at the beauty salon for your skin. There are several face masks which are available in the market, some of them contain chemicals and preservatives, some are claimed to be natural but still questionable due to the use of preservatives. Then the question arises what should we do? What should we go for? The chemical ones or the natural ones?
To find the answer lets dive into the old age era of our parents and grandparents. How they take care of their skin. They didn’t have any cosmetics or costly skin care products. They only use the ingredients present on the kitchen like gram flour (besan), fuller’s earth (multani mitti), turmeric (haldi), red lentil (masoor dal), nigella seeds (kalonji), honey, yogurt, coconut oil, raw milk etc.
These were the simple ingredients with great benefits for skin care. Here are some benefits for some of these ingredients for skin care:
Gram flour (besan): It helps in controlling the excess oil and evens out the skin tone by gently exfoliating the skin and making it brighter.
Multani mitti: From the old era multani mitti has been used as a natural face mask to control the excess oil and also the acne from skin and give you a bright, glowing and oil free skin all day long.
Turmeric: Turmeric has many antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help to give your skin a beautiful glow and luster.
Red lentil (masoor dal): A natural detanning ingredient that helps to reduce the sun damage on your skin and gives it a natural glow.
Honey: Honey acts as a humectant for our skin which attracts the moisture and retains it in the skin for a longer duration of time so that your skin feels moisturized, soft and hydrated.
