Mighty Fives : 5 face packs for combination skin

I was 16 when I first started doing skincare but it was only out of curiosity about having expensive products in shimmery packaging but I never thought about what my skin really was and what really had to go on my skin. Although my parents have always cribbed about how social media was going to destroy my life , but it was exactly this social media that made me realize that I was doing wrong to my skin the whole time. 

As I turned 18 , I was advised by my dermat to check what skin type do I have. For the longest time I had been using products that were well made for oily skin because I thought that I had an oily skin type. But no , I had combination skin and that was exactly when I learnt my lessons and now I follow a full flegded skincare regime for combination skin. 

Here are a few trusty DIY face masks that I and my dermat swear by:

1.Honey and Lemon 

You only require two ingrediets for this: honey and lemon. In a clean bowl , mix honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice. This helps in reducing oil , brightens the complexion and as it reads is a great source of vitamin C 

2. Multani Mitti 

Mix multani mitti and rose water is a bowl and stir till a smooth paste is formed. This pack not only absorbs excess oil but also smoothens and soothes the skin irritations. 

3. Oatmeal face pack 

Finely grind the oatmeal and mix it with a spoonful of yoghurt. It looks like gunk but makes your face glow even better. It is a great option for hydrating the dry areas.

These are responsible for reducing excess oil , clean open pores , reduce inflammation , cleansing oput the bacteria , calm the irritated skin and brightening the overall skin complexion. It was , has and will never be the skin color , it is always about how healthy and clean your skin is. Every skin is beautiful if every skin type is recognised.
