Pollution and harsh weather conditions often take a toll on your skin, leaving it dull and stressed. These environmental pollutants and changing climates can cause dryness, irritation, and an uneven complexion. Thankfully, you don’t always have to resort to expensive skincare products to restore your skin's natural glow. Homemade face packs also offer a convenient and effective way to combat these issues, and help to rejuvenate and nourish your skin with natural ingredients.

Natural ingredients often have antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that can help repair and protect the skin. For instance, many natural ingredients have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can soothe irritation, fight acne, and provide deep hydration. These DIY packs are effective to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin without the risk of harsh side effects.

Here are 5 easy DIY face packs that can help you achieve soft, supple, and clean skin:

Besan and honey pack: Mix besan (gram flour) with honey to create a smooth paste. Apply this mask to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. This pack helps in exfoliating the skin, removing dead cells, and providing a natural glow due to the antibacterial properties of honey and the gentle exfoliation from besan.

Malai and atta pack: Combine malai (fresh cream) with atta (wheat flour) to form a thick paste. Apply it evenly on your face and let it sit for 20 minutes before washing it off with water. The cream hydrates and moisturizes the skin, while wheat flour gently exfoliates, helping to soften and smoothen the skin.

Tomato pack: Blend fresh tomato to make a smooth pulp and apply it directly to your face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with cool water. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, which can help reduce excess oil, tighten pores, and brighten the complexion.

Masoor dal pack: Soak masoor dal (red lentils) and a few seeds of dana methi (fenugreek) overnight and grind them into a fine paste. Apply this paste to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off. This helps in exfoliating dead skin cells and improving skin texture while providing essential proteins and vitamins.

Oats with tea tea oil: Mix soaked oats with a few drops of tea tree oil to form a paste. Apply this mixture to your face and leave it for 15 minutes before washing off. Oats provide gentle exfoliation and hydration, while tea tree oil has antimicrobial properties that help in combating acne and soothing irritated skin.
