Sandalwood face pack:Review

I just can’t do without this Multani mitti (fuller’s earth) face pack in summer, it’s a must for my extremely oily and acne-prone skin. Another natural ingredient which I can’t live without in summer is sandalwood (chandan). I dust sandalwood powder all over my skin to get relief from prickly heat and rashes. Sometimes I pummel a small piece of sandalwood on a flat stone to extract its paste. Then I add a drop of honey to it and smear it all over my face to rejuvenate my greasy skin. Recently I purchased this sandalwood face pack. It costs less than $3 and besidessandal face pack sandalwood it contains several other natural ingredients like mineral clay and sandalwood oil.



Application:
I cleansed my face with Garnier Naturals’ Deep Pore Exfoliating face wash to get rid of all the grime and dead cells and then carefully opened the box containing this sandal face pack. Umm, it smelt divine. Good enough to eat. :) I then spread out this paste all over my face and neck leaving the undereye area. I experienced a slight stinging sensation and that seemed okay with me as the pack was doing its job. I left it for about 20 minutes and splashed cool water over my face to rinse it off. Then I applied a moisturizer. And I must say that I am quite happy with it – the pack quickly absorbed all the excess oil, grease and grime to reveal the fresh and glSandalwood Clay Face Masqueowing skin underneath. These days, I am using it thrice a week.

If you wish you can even try this Sandalwood Clay Face Masque, available at Amazon.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
