Multani mitti, or fuller's earth, is a mineral-rich clay with a finer texture and high water content, which is a powerhouse of moisture. It is usually used as a naturally found face and body cleanser because of its deep-cleansing properties. Known to reduce extra oil, fight acne, and balance out the facial tone, it also helps in reducing pigmentation and inflammation while unclogging your pores.
Its cooling effects leave you with a rejuvenated feeling and are thus used rigorously in summer. Try these 3 ways and create an effective homemade multani mitti face mask for brighter, acne-free skin.

Face cleansing and brightening face pack
For a fresh and bright complexion with deep cleansing benefits, use this easy-to-make face pack that has active and natural ingredients. Take a spoonful of multani mitti with half a spoonful of sandalwood powder. Add ¼ spoonful of turmeric powder and a spoonful of rose water or fresh milk. Apply this paste on your face and leave it on till it is completely dried off. This face pack has anti-inflammatory, exfoliating, and brightening ingredients, leaving the skin supple and nourished.
Spot and pigmentation treatment
Pigmented skin with small natural or acne marks is very common in Indian women. Take a spoonful of multani mitti with neem powder or paste and create a semi-paste formula using water or rose water for better effect. Now, apply this paste on the skin for spot treatment as a cleanser, where the properties of neem will have antibacterial effects and will reduce redness and irritation and treat pimples as well.

Oily skin facial treatment
Multani mitti sucks out the extra oil from your skin. For this face mask, you need one spoon of multani mitti, ¼ spoon of turmeric powder, one spoon of lemon juice, and one spoon of honey. Create a thick paste and apply it all over your face. Until it gets dried up fully, let the mask tighten your facial skin, which increases the blood flow, resulting in contraction and cooling. After some time, rinse your face, and enjoy supple and soothing skin.
