1. Pluck a handful of fresh mint leaves from a mint plant or you can buy them from the market.
2. Wash the leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
3. Take the washed mint leaves and crush them using a mortar and pestle or with the back of a spoon. This will release the natural oils and active compounds present in the leaves.
4. In a clean bowl, take about 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Yogurt helps to moisturize and nourish the skin while adding a cooling effect.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of multani mitti (fuller’s earth) to the bowl. Multani mitti is a natural clay that helps to cleanse the skin, remove impurities, and control excess oil.
6. Now, add the crushed mint leaves to the bowl and mix well until all the ingredients are combined and you get a smooth mixture. You may also use a blender or food processor to blend the ingredients together for a smoother consistency.
7. Before applying the face pack, make sure your face is clean and free from any makeup or dirt. You can use a gentle cleanser or face wash to wash your face and pat it dry.
8. Using clean fingers or a face pack brush, apply the mint face pack evenly on your face and neck. Avoid the eye area.
9. Allow the face pack to sit on your face for about 15-20 minutes. During this time, the pack will dry and tighten on your skin.
10. Once the pack has dried, rinse it off with cool water. Gently massage your face in circular motions while rinsing to exfoliate your skin.
11. Finally, pat your face dry with a clean towel and follow up with your regular moisturizer to lock in the hydration.
Using this pudina face pack once or twice a week can help in refreshing and rejuvenating the skin. The mint leaves provide a cooling sensation, which can help in soothing irritated skin and reducing acne or blemishes. Additionally, mint leaves are rich in antioxidants which can help in combating free radicals and preventing premature aging signs.
