Face packs

A face pack not only cleanses your skin and pores but it also helps to
maintain the tautness of your skin and its balance. Here are some face
packs for different skin types know your skin type and choose the pack
that's just right for you.

Oily skin pack:
Oily skins have very active sebaceous glands that secrete
more oil leaving the skin look dull and greasy thus attracting a lot
of dirt which then clogs the pores. It needs a thorough cleansing
routine to remove the surface grime and unclog blocked pores. For this
you need a pack that rejuvenates, tightens and exfoliates skin. 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. 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 would help to add some glow.

Dry skin pack:
Dry skins are usually flaky and dull looking around the eyes
and cheeks. It also needs constant moisturizing. Wash your face with
milk and oatmeal instead of soap as milk nourishes the skin while
oatmeal acts like an exfoliater while soap dries of the skin further.
For extra moisturizing, 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.

Combination pack:
This type of skin is usually oily on the nose and forehead
and dry around the eyes and cheeks. Cleanse the center zone with an
astringent while dab the rest of the face with cold milk. Apply a pack
made of half a cup of powered, dry peas, mixed with three spoons of
curd, juice of one lemon and half a cup of papaya pulp. Apply it for
20 minutes and wash your face with ice- cold water. Better still rub
an ice cube dipped in rose water over the T-Zone. It prevents enlarged
pores and blackheads. Freeze tray with rose water ice cubes so you can
rub your face with them any time of the day especially after a bath as
it opens the pores.
