Home made natural face masks (face packs)

[Dr.Savitha Suri]

Although it takes some time out of our busy day, we still believe that a face mask, or face pack as some refer to it, is one of the best facial treatments that you can have, for a variety of reasons - from cleansing, stimulating, assisting anti-ageing, improving skin tone etc.

The idea of an essential oil mask is not a new idea and a few very expensive rejuvenating clinics have been using them for some time.
On this page, we have included five simple face masks that we thought you may find of use:

    Normal skin mask
    Dry skin mask
    Oily skin mask
    Problem skin mask
    Rejuvenating skin mask

Although clay masks are thought to be drying, they contain great benefits for the skin, and can be used very successfully in your beauty routine.

Green clay has become the talk of the beauty world, but if it is not available in your area, you can still use the old dependable white kaolin powder.

As a base you can mix either green clay or kaolin powder (reconstituted with either floral water such as rosewater or pure distilled water) together with a little cornflower and a quarter teaspoon of powdered raw oats.

Before applying the mask, make sure that the skin is cleansed properly and dried by patting it with a towel.

After applying any of the masks, leave on for at least 15 minutes while relaxing, and wash off with tepid (lukewarm) water and pat the skin dry. Apply moisturizer.

If you have never used essential oils, and are prone to allergies, we suggest that you perform a skin patch test before using any of them.
