Hey girls
I'm really excited about writing my first blog post
Hope you girls love this and subscribe to girlinstaglam to make this a big happy family.
Today's post is about easy yet effective DIY face packs for all skin types

1. Gram flour with Turmeric face pack

This suits all skin types but people allergic to turmeric can skip it. Take some gram flour and add a pinch of turmeric (preferably wild turmeric - kasturi manjal) and mix them with raw milk or you can use rose water. Apply a thick paste over your face and neck. If you want, you can also add milk cream to it. Rinse it off after 10 to 15 minutes when it dries and wash it off with plain water in a upward gentle scrubbing motion.

This brightens your face and gives a natural beautiful skin. Do this once a week. After washing, apply a good suitable moisturizer according to your skin type. Don't skip moisturizer even if you have oily skin.
You can also use buttermilk instead of milk.

2. Potatoes with honey face pack

Mash or scrape some raw potatoes and add honey to it. Rub it gently on skin and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then wash it off with normal water. This mask is good for acne prone skin and reduces those scars and black spots. 

This gives a bright good looking skin. It also helps with pigmentation. You can use this daily too as this is so gentle and a good moisturizing face pack. 

3. Papaya with honey face pack

Follow the same procedure like potato honey mask.

This face pack/mask helps with sunburns, tanned skin, pigmentation and gives brighter looking glowing skin. This mask helps to bring back the original complexion when included in regular skincare routine.

4. Rice flour with Turmeric pack

Take some rice flour and add a pinch of turmeric (wild turmeric - kasturi manjal) to it. Mix them with rose water and apply this paste. After it dries for about 15 minutes, wash it off with plain water. Be gentle on your skin. This removes tan and also acts as a good facial scrub for removing dead skin cells and gives bright younger looking skin.

Rice is an important ingredient in Korean skincare routine and has a lot of skin benefits. The rice water can also be used as a separate ingredient in your skincare regime which acts as an excellent toner for all skin types. It makes skin look instantly bright and when used regularly, helps to fade dark spots.

5. Sandalwood powder face pack

Mix Sandalwood powder with rose water. You can also add milk and apply this mixture generously all over your face and neck. This can also be used as a spot treatment for acne and pimples. Wash it off after 10 minutes. It improves your complexion (helps to attain original complexion), brightens your skin instantly. Sandalwood powder is one of the oldest ingredient in the ancient skincare routine.

It helps in reducing acne spots too. You can add a pinch of turmeric or wild turmeric if you aren't allergic to it.

6. Saffron with milk face pack

Add some saffron (3 to 4 strands) to raw milk and apply this to your face. Wash it off after 15 minutes. It gives glowing bright younger looking skin and this pack is a good moisturizing one. You can use this weekly once. Raw milk alone can also be used on a regular basis for fresh clear young skin.

7. Aloe vera gel face pack

You can simply use the Natural aloe vera gel extracted from the plant and apply to your face. Wash it off after 20 to 30 minutes with plain water. It gives glowing bright skin reducing those scars. Don't forget to apply moisturizer after washing it off or else skin might start feeling very dry.

Be careful while choosing the right aloe vera plant. It can be used daily for best results. A slight tingling sensation is normal while using aloe vera gel.

8. Neem pack

Take some fresh neem leaves and grind them as a paste by adding some water or you can get neem powder from stores. Add a pinch of turmeric or wild turmeric and also Fuller's earth (optional) to it and apply this as a face pack. This reduces pimples acne, helps to get rid of those marks and good for getting healthy skin.

This is best suited to acne prone skin type and oily skin but if you are a dry skin beauty, then skip Fuller's earth and you can add curd or plain yogurt to this.

10. Multani mitti face pack

Take some multani mitti (Fuller's earth) and add rose water or aloe vera gel to it. I also prefer adding some wild turmeric powder to this. By this time you would have come to know how much I love wild turmeric in my DIY face packs. If you have dry skin wash this after 5 to 6 minutes and moisturize well. For oily skin you can have this for about 10 minutes but don't let it to dry completely. Dry skin people can use this once in a week (if you like using multani mitti) and if you have oily skin, you can use this twice a week.

It gradually reduces those acne marks, gives bright skin, gives even skin tone and good for treating pimples too. It also has tan removal properties.

11. Rice flour with coffee powder face pack

Take equal amounts of rice flour and coffee powder and add some water to form a good consistency paste. Apply the mixture as a mask and after it dries, wash it off with plain water. 

Don't scrub your skin as it can be harsh and cause micro tears. This pack works like a magic and gives such a bright skin. Skin will be soft and young looking
Please don't be harsh with your skin.

12. Almond mask

Take some Almonds and soak them in a bowl of water overnight.  Grind it into a paste and apply this paste on your face and wash after 15 minutes. Oily skin people can use this only once a week. If you have normal or dry skin, you can use twice a week.
It gives glowing soft moisturized skin.

13. Orange peel powder mask

Take some orange peel powder and to this add curd or yogurt. Apply this mask and wash after 10 to 15 minutes. It helps with blemishes, scars and gives glowing skin. This mask is also good for tanned skin.

Orange peel majorly helps to treat hyper pigmentation. If you have hyper pigmentation around mouth (which is very common), you can apply this over there regularly to see results. 

14. Carrot and tomato mask

Extract the juice from both (carrot and tomato) and apply this on your face. Since this is liquid, you can use tissue papers to stick this on ur face and then again apply this mixture over the tissues. Or else you can use compressed sheet masks for this.
It removes facial tan, reduces spots, gives glowing bright skin.

So these were my DIY face packs and do try this and give your suggestions
