According to experts, this homemade remedy can cool the skin, remove blackheads and whiteheads, control excessive production of oil, soothe inflammation-induced irritation, and reduce the appearance of pores. It's ideal for skin that's oily in the way that it absorbs excess sebum (oil) from the surface (owing to its mattifying properties), unclogs pores, and eliminates impurities. It's time to indulge in this ingredient and bask in all the benefits it promises on delivering to your skin.Ī mineral-laden multani mitti is associated with a befuddling spectrum of benefits for the skin.

It's almost like we've ritualised the practice. Wash off with warm water.It's an age-old tradition: scooping a dollop of homemade multani mitti out of a bowl, and slathering it all over our faces to reinstate our glow.

Here are some face scrubs that I regularly use for getting smooth, soft, glowing skin. This fine herbal powder is available in beauty stores everywhere. I scrub my face twice a week with a homemade scrub that I make with traditional and age-old beauty ingredient called ubtan or utne (in Marathi). The scraping of dead cells also promotes the growth of new cells which makes your skin look fresher and brighter. This helps impart a natural glow to your skin. The massaging action while you scrub also helps to boost blood circulation. Scrubbing helps your skin get rid of dead cells and become smooth. Apart from cleansing, toning and moisturizing, applying sunscreen and using face masks, the one thing I never ignore is scrubbing. But my skin care, especially facial skin care, is something I never ignore. I wouldn't say the same about my hair care routine. If there's one thing I am proud of doing religiously despite my laziness or lack of time or inclination, is taking good care of my skin. Written by Upneet Pansare |Published : Octo6:09 PM IST
