I have extremely dry skin! So is that a boon or a bane? I would definitely say a bane since it is very difficult to prevent signs of ageing! But then again a few face packs with the right ingredients and a little effort to moisturize the skin goes a long way. So here are a few face packs I swear by :-

• 1 tbsp Green gram flour
• ½ tbsp Red Sandalwood
• ½ tsp honey
• A little curd

Mix all the ingredients and apply on the face and neck and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water. This not only provides the necessary moisture content to the skin but also brightens your face.

• 1 banana (mashed).
• 1/2 tbsp honey.

Honey makes the face look brighter; lightens the skintone and banana provides the necessary moisture and oil content

• Juice of ½ a lemon.
• 2 tsps olive oil.
• Yolk of an egg.

I can assure you that even though this mask mightstink, bearing with it for 10 minutes can give you gorgeous skin!

• ½ tsp honey.
• Yolk of an egg.
• 1 tbsp milk powder (if you use milk then the pack will become too runny).

Mix all the ingredients together and leave on face and neck for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with water at room temperature.

Remember the following points:

• Use curd instead of milk since it is more moisturizing.
• Use green gram flour instead of besan. Besan tends to absorb oil..
• Use egg yolk for giving you the oil content and egg white for an anti-ageing pack.
• Always ensure you add an ingredient which replenishes your skin with moisture and the necessary oil content.

Hope this helped! How do you tackle dry skin?
