Red Sandalwood Pack for Glowing Skin

Red Sandalwood Pack for Glowing Skin – DIY

By Sanchita

My skin suddenly started getting dry and dull. There was always a glow but of lately I have seen it getting dull day by day. I have naturally oily and acne prone skin and therefore I never had to face skin peeling off my face. I tried facial oils and moisturizers but nothing could make a difference. I searched the internet for the ingredients and made this customized face pack. I have used this face pack throughout the winter and still using it. I noticed that with continuous usage, it kept my skin hydrated, glowing and pimple-free.

Read on to know how I prepare this face pack.

Ingredients

Besan/Gram Flour – 1tbsp.
Yogurt – 1tbsp.
Red Sandalwood Powder – ½ tbsp.
Rosehip Seed Oil (or any other facial oil that works for you) – few drops

Instructions

1. In a clean bowl, add 1tbsp. of Besan/Gram Flour.

2. Next, add ½ tbsp. Red Sandalwood Powder.

3. Add the 1tbsp. yogurt.

4. Add few drops of Rosehip Seed Oil. For extremely oily skin, you can also skip this step and add Aloe Vera juice instead.

5. With the help of a spoon, mix it well.

How to Apply

Always apply this face pack after cleansing your face. This will help the skin to benefit better from the ingredients.
Take a face pack brush and apply the face pack all over the face, leaving the eye area.
Keep it for 20-30 mins and wash off with cold water.
Pat the skin dry and apply a facial oil or moisturizer.

YOGURT

Yogurt is rich in lactic acid which is an alpha hydroxy acid that dissolves dead skin cells. It hydrates the skin without making it oily, prevents breakouts and also helps to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Also, yoghurt helps to lighten the blemishes and pigmentation.

BESAN/GRAM FLOUR

Besan works magically for my oily skin. It is one of the best natural cleanser and helps to lighten the dark spots and acne scars. It reduces excessive oiliness from the skin and fight pimples naturally.

ROSEHIP OIL

Rosehip Oil is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, especially Vitamin C, Vitamin A (retinol), and linoleic and linolenic acids. It is the only facial oil that works wonder without making my face oily. It is anti-ageing and never broke me out. My skin was peeling due to dryness but this oil prevented and also brought back the radiance and glow to the skin.
