Description

Step 1: Prepare the Base Ingredients

Each skin type has unique needs for balancing oil secretion. Therefore, we will use different base ingredients tailored to each skin type:

• For Oily Skin: Combine 5 tablespoons each of Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth) and Besan (Chickpea Flour).
• For Combination Skin: Combine 5 tablespoons each of Besan (Chickpea Flour) and Ground Oats.
• For Dry Skin: Combine 5 tablespoons each of Milk and Ground Oats.

Step 2: Add the Active Ingredients

While the base ingredients vary, the following active ingredients are suitable for all skin types:

• 1 teaspoon of Turmeric Powder
• 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon Powder
• 1 teaspoon of Licorice Powder
• 1 teaspoon of Neem Powder
• 10 drops of ttea tree oil

Store this mixture in an airtight container for 1 to 3 months, ensuring that no water enters the container.

Step 3: Incorporate the Liquid Ingredients

When you’re ready to use the face pack, take 2 tablespoons of the prepared mixture and add the following liquid ingredients:

• 1/2 teaspoon of Raw Honey
• Rose Water (enough to create a thick paste)

How to Store It

You can store the dry ingredients for 1-3 months.

Why These Ingredients?

We have chosen ingredients shown to have anti-acne benefits:

• Clay (Fuller’s Earth or Multani Mitti): Reduces oil secretion and absorbs sebum when applied for extended periods.
• Turmeric: Offers antioxidant, wound-healing, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Tea Tree Oil: Inhibits acne and is as effective as benzoyl peroxide in studies, without affecting normal skin flora. It’s anti-inflammatory but may cause redness, dryness, and irritation, especially in sensitive skin. Avoid use during pregnancy and lactation.
• Cinnamon: When combined with honey, can reduce acne.
• Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice or Mulethi): Has antibacterial and skin-lightening effects. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties can reduce acne but should be avoided in patients with hypertension, heart, or kidney problems.
• Rose Water: Helps reduce comedones (blackheads/whiteheads).
• Raw Honey: Reduces red pimples due to anti-inflammatory properties.
• Gram Flour (Besan): Absorbs excess oil, especially beneficial for oily skin.

The base ingredients are customized to match different skin types:

• Dry Skin: Oats and milk nourish and hydrate.
• Combination Skin: Chickpea flour and oats help balance oil production.
• Oily Skin: Multani mitti and besan help remove excess oils from greasy skin.
