Three kitchen-ingredient face packs suggested for a glow ahead of Navratri
With Shardiya Navratri close, an article suggests three face packs made from kitchen items instead of costly skin treatments.
Shardiya Navratri will begin soon. For nine days there is an atmosphere of joy and enthusiasm everywhere. In many places the goddess is worshipped, and dandiya and garba events are also held.
Girls and women dress up in traditional chaniya choli for garba. Shopping for clothes often starts four or five days before the garba. Along with clothes, people try various ways to brighten their faces.
To get rid of wrinkles, pimples, dark spots and acne, people follow skin care routines, change their diets and undergo expensive skin treatments. The article, however, says that instead of repeatedly going for costly treatments, one should use items available in the kitchen. It claims this will make the skin look more beautiful and radiant. It says expensive products are not needed at all to bring out the skin's beauty, and that kitchen items improve skin that has lost its quality. It suggests trying three face packs for this.
The first is an ubtan. To make it, put gram flour, turmeric, almond powder and raw milk in a bowl and mix everything well. Apply the pack to the face and leave it on for a while. Wash it off with water after 15 minutes. The article says applying it two to three times a week will help reduce tan.
The second is a cucumber face pack. Take cucumber juice in a bowl and mix in orange juice, tomato juice and gram flour. Apply it over the whole face and, after leaving it on for 10 to 15 minutes, wash the skin clean with water. According to the article, the face should be cleaned as soon as the pack starts to dry slightly. It says tomato juice will help reduce dark spots and tan, while cucumber juice will help hydrate the skin.
The third is a gram flour and potato face pack. Take gram flour in a bowl, add potato juice, lemon juice and turmeric, and make a paste. Apply it over the whole face, leave it for a while and massage the face gently. The article says the massage will help improve blood circulation in the skin. Wash the face with water after half an hour. It says this pack will make the face and skin look cleaner and brighter. It also recommends household items for relief from growing skin problems.
