THE INGREDIENTS:

Dry skin? Oily skin? Tanned skin? Gram flour acts as a natural exfoliator for all skin types and problems. 
      2. Honey (3tsps)
Honey is the safest and best option for moisturizing the skin and improving skin quality.
      3. Turmeric (3 tsps)
Turmeric is known worldwide as the most effective ingredient for its anti-bacterial and antiseptic  properties.
      4. Water (for mixing purposes)

THE PROCESS:

1. Mix all the ingredients:

Mixture: Take a bowl and add all the ingredients. Add the water last.

Adding water: Be careful to add the water slowly so, that the paste is of the right texture. While adding water, stir the mixture continuously to ensure that lumps aren’t formed.
Paste Texture: Ideally, the mixture should be a thicker one for best effects. The paste should be thick enough to stay on the skin and not trail off. Do not add too much water. Do ensure that you aren’t allergic to any of the products before application.

    2. Apply the Paste:

Brush usage: The paste should be applied on the skin evenly. Use a clean flat brush for best results. Do check that the brush used is soft so as to avoid any scratches or damage to the skin.

Application: Spread the paste evenly on the face. Ensure that the paste is applied properly in the areas around the eyes and mouth.

   3. Face Massage:

Technique: Massage the face gently with clean hands. Many a times, the results of applying the paste are not seen because of two main reasons: the application technique and the time.

Massaging the face is essential after applying the paste so that the facepack can seep through the skin and provide effective results. It helps the facepack reach the deepest pores of the skin and get rid of dead skin cells, smoothening the exfoliating process.

4. Leave the facepack on:

Activity time: Let the facepack dry on the skin. The ideal time required for drying is 10 minutes if the paste is of the right texture. Leave the facepack on for 5-10 minutes more if it hasn’t dried. Avoid touching your face during this time.

 5. Remove the facepack:

Paper towel: Soak a paper towel in water. Use the wet paper towel to remove the facepack.

Technique: Move the paper towel gently across the face to remove the paste. Do not rub the towel harshly as it could lead to rashes or scratches. Ensure that the towel is completely wet. This will lead to the facepack coming off quickly.

     6. Wash your face:

Wash your face with water to ensure that the facepack is completely off.
