For a
beautiful and flawless skin it is necessary that you take care of
it. If you do not want to go to beauty parlours for regular facials
then you can try the following face packs which you can make at
home. A face pack not only cleanses your skin but it also helps to
maintain the firmness of your skin and its balance. Following face
packs are categorized for different skin types.
Face Pack for Oily skin:
Oily skin is caused by over-active glands, which produce a substance
called Asebum, a naturally healthy skin lubricant. When the skin
produces too much sebum, it becomes thick and heavy in texture. It
needs a thorough cleansing routine to remove the surface grime and
unclog blocked pores.
Ingredients:
Six strawberries.
One teaspoon of Brandy.
Two teaspoons of breadcrumbs.
Two teaspoons of fuller's earth.
Rose water.
Mash six strawberries with a teaspoon of Brandy, two spoons of
breadcrumbs, two spoons of fuller's earth and a few drops of rose
water. Mix well and apply a thick layer on the face and neck and
leave on for 20 minutes.
Benefits:
This pack rejuvenates, tightens and exfoliates your skin and brings
that shine and radiance. Since strawberries have Vitamin C and a
certain acidic properties they leave the skin sparkling clean.
Breadcrumbs help to exfoliate dead skin while fuller's earth will
tighten the pores and brandy helps in adding some glow.
Face Pack for Dry skin:
Dry skin
usually results when skin fails to produce enough sebum to maintain
a naturally lubricated surface. Dry skin often appears coarse,
tight, dull and flaky, with visible lines and wrinkles. Hence dry
skin needs extra moisturizing.
Ingredients:
10
almonds.
Two teaspoons of oatmeal.
Four tablespoons of full cream milk.
Two teaspoons of china clay.
Juice of half lemon.
One mashed avocado.
Make a pack with a mixture of 10 almonds, two spoons oatmeal, four
tablespoons of full cream milk, two spoons china clay, juice of half
a lemon, and one mashed avocado. Apply on face and leave it for 20
minutes. Dampen cotton wool with cold milk and wipe it off. Splash
your face with cold water and apply a light moisturizer.
Benefits:
This pack will help to maintain the balance of your skin. Oatmeal is
very good since it acts like an exfoliater.
Face Pack for Combination Skin:
This type of skin is usually oily on the nose and forehead and dry
around the eyes and cheeks. If you have more than one skin type on
your face, it is wise to use products containing different
ingredients to treat the areas differently. Cleanse the center zone
with an astringent while dab the rest of the face with moisturizer.
Ingredients:
Half cup
powdered peas
Three teaspoons of curd.
Juice of one lemon.
Half cup papaya pulp.
Rose water
Prepare a pack of half a cup of powdered peas, mixed with three
spoons of curd, juice of one lemon and half a cup of papaya pulp.

Better still rub an ice cube dipped in rose water over the T-Zone.
Benefits:
This pack will give restore the texture of your face and will bring
radiance and glow to your skin. It also prevents enlarged pores and
blackheads.
