Cucumber and mint face pack
Cucumber and mint are two of the most powerful cooling agents. They can give you a refreshing feeling in summer, hence they are great ingredients for any homemade face pack. The antioxidant properties in cucumber help to reduce swelling and redness while the menthol helps tighten your pores. Mint is a natural astringent that tightens the skin, making it look supple and firm. This face pack is easy to make as it does not require any cooking or blending skills.
Strawberry face pack
Strawberries are high in vitamin C and also contain vitamin A and B, which are antioxidants. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect your skin from free radicals. The antioxidants in strawberries help prevent aging of the skin, reduce dark spots and lighten scars.
You can make this face pack at home with just 3 ingredients: strawberries, chickpea flour and milk. First, mash the strawberries till smooth using a fork or blender then add 1 table spoon chickpea flour to it along with 1 table spoon of milk (preferably cow’s milk). Mix everything well until you get a smooth paste without any lumps. Apply this on your face for 20 minutes before washing off with water
Almond oil, Daru Haldi & Saffron Face Pack
Almond oil is not just a great moisturizer but also has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also known to reduce acne, which makes it an excellent choice for oily skin types. Almond oil has Vitamin E and magnesium contents that stimulate blood circulation in the face, thus helping to cure skin problems such as pimples and rashes.
Saffron is rich in anti-oxidants that help reduce acne, scars and blemishes (especially on the back of your hands) while it brightens your complexion with its golden glow. The saffron face pack also helps remove dead skin cells from your face by gently exfoliating them. It's no wonder why saffron was used by Cleopatra herself!
Daru haldi or turmeric contains curcumin which has anti-inflammatory properties and helps treat inflammation caused due to sun exposure or any other external factor like pollution or dust particles etc. This natural ingredient can be used as an alternative remedy for treating acne breakouts without any side effects unlike most commercial products available today
Papaya face pack
Papaya is a natural and effective skin lightening agent. It contains alpha-hydroxy acids, which help in removing dead skin cells and promote new cell growth. These acids also remove dead skin cells, blackheads and dirt from your pores to make them appear smaller. The papaya contains vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that protects the skin against harmful UV rays of the sun. It also contains vitamin B6, which helps in skin repair and regeneration by moisturizing it naturally instead of using artificial products like creams or gels.
The benefits of using papaya as a face mask include:
Removes excess oil on your face by removing dead cells from your pores.
Reduces acne scars by exfoliating dead cells from clogged pores so that you can get rid of them easily without any difficulty or pain!
Oatmeal, almond and honey face pack
Oatmeal has anti-inflammatory properties that help in healing skin inflammation. It also acts as a natural exfoliant for your skin. Mix 1 table spoon of oatmeal in 1/4 cup water and make a thick paste. Add some drops of almond oil to this plain oatmeal paste to make it more gentle on the skin or if you wish to use it as a scrub then add some sugar instead of the almond oil.
Almond oil helps in nourishing the skin while honey is known to be great when it comes to nourishing dry & damaged hair & skin. So why not mix up both these ingredients along with some oatmeal powder to create an irresistible face pack?
Sandalwood and rose water face pack
