It’s natural for your skin to show angst in the form of blackheads and whiteheads, thanks to the amount of toxins your skin has been exposed to. This is when you need a skin care routine like steam that is directed towards opening your pores and deep cleansing your skin. Not only will this cleanse your skin by releasing toxins but it will also help clear your complexion.

In order to relax your skin and to ensure that it feels clean, you need to rely on a deep cleansing mud mask as a part of your skin care routine. Fuller’s earth aka multani mitti is known for its detoxifying powers. Moreover, it’s also anti-inflammatory so if you’ve been breaking out after the festive season, this is just what you need. Mix about 2 tablespoons of multani mitti with 1 tablespoon of rose water and apply this pack to your face for about 20 minutes. An added skin care tip would be to wash off with lukewarm water so your skin feels deeply cleansed.
