A few posts earlier, I talked about the basics of skin care (my everyday CTM routine) which one must follow on daily basis. But this isn't enough for our valuable skin, a weekly face pack is a must to deal with issues like pigmentation, tanning, ageing, dark spots, blemishes, acne and many more. When it comes to skincare, face pack is my favourite. It is my ideal way of relaxing on a weekend. While there are lot of face packs available in the market, today I am going to show you a simple D.I.Y. face pack that will serve as a multipurpose.
To make this face pack, you will need :
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp rose water
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (optional)
Directions to use :
- Mix the above ingredients and apply it all over your face and neck.
- Leave it on for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Benefits of each ingredient:
- Honey : Honey has excellent skin nourishment properties. It helps in eliminating dullness from the face and provides an all natural glow. This is my go to ingredient to get that radiance on my face naturally. The longer this pack stays on your face, the brighter the glow would reflect on the face. Honey is also known to tighten the skin in general. As we age, our skin tends to loosen out and therefore the honey in this pack will help overcome this ageing issue.
- Rose water : This is traditionally used as a toner. Rose water is enriched with vitamins which are essential to maintain the pH balance of the skin. It essentially helps in tightening large pores and also aids in keeping the skin moisturised.
- Lemon juice : Lemon juice is rich in vitamin c and the citric acids present in it has natural bleaching properties. It evens out the skin tone, reduces dark spots and pigmentation. Lemon juice is also know for its ability to clean the unseen dirt stuck inside of the pores.
- Turmeric powder : It serves as a natural antiseptic and anti inflammatory ingredient than helps in diminishing blemishes and acne. Turmeric is also traditionally known for controlling the growth of facial hair. One major concern while using it in face pack is that it leaves a yellow tint on the face and that is why I suggest this as an optional ingredient in this face pack.
Overall benefits :
- Suitable for all skin types
- Eliminates dullness and provides a healthy glow
- Tightens large pores
- Evens out skin tone
- Reduces pigmentation and dark spots
- Tightens the skin
- Reduces acne and blemishes
- Controls growth of facial hair

Do try this simple face pack and let me know how this worked for you.
