Ayurveda recommends several herbs that can be used to make natural face packs. Take water in a wide-mouthed vessel to which the powders of all the herbs have been added. Allow the mixture to boil till the initial volume of water is reduced to half. Filter the contents through a double muslin cloth or a cheesecloth to obtain a clear liquid.
DRY FACE
Method of preparation
- Mix the herbalised Bentonite clay, and add honey and Aloe Vera gel well.
- To this, add the rose water and mix well. Add water in small volumes, blending the contents well, to form a soft semi-solid paste.
- Then add the perfuming oil and blend it well.
Usage
- Use plain water to wash your face. Dry it with a soft towel.
- Uniformly apply a little oil over your face. Don’t massage it.
- Evenly spread a small quantity of the paste over your face. Carefully avoid contact with your eyes, lips, and the inner parts of your nostrils.
- Allow it to dry (approx. 5-15 minutes).
- On drying it will act on your skin for 30 minutes. (The face mask has been in contact with your skin for 45 minutes in all.)
- Gently peel off the mask rubbing it, with your fingers. If it is stuck to your face, apply a little oil to your fingers to make the peeling process more comfortable. Know more homemade skin care tips at our blog.
