Multani Mitti (Fuller’s earth) cleansing mask

13 comments

Multani mitti or Fuller’s earth makes an excellent cleansing mask, and possesses highly absorbent qualities. It is rich in minerals and when applied to the skin in the form of a paste, it helps improve circulation; it hardens slowly as it dries, and absorbing the dead cells on the top of the skin and dries up any excess oil. The mineral ingredient in fuller’s earth giving the absorbent action is the hydrated aluminium silicate. Grease of the skin, coats the particles of aluminium silicate and is lifted away from the skin when the mask is removed. It is therefore unsuitable for a dry skin but is excellent for an oily skin.

Multani mitti mask
Ingredients:
Multani mitti – 1 tbsp,
Rose water – 1 tbsp
Method:
Mix the 2 ingredients to form a smooth paste. Apply to the skin leaving the area around the eyes. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes or until completely dry. Rinse off with warm water.

The result is a clear pinkish skin. The tinge is due to the stepping up of blood circulation and all the excess grease and dead cells are cleared away.

For those with perspiration problem, Fuller’s earth mixed with talc powder makes a very good foot powder. It can be sprinkled into the shoes or rubbed directly onto the feet.

Do not use fuller’s earth mask if you have a very dry or sensitive skin. It’s highly absorbent property is something which a dry or sensitive skin can hardly take.

No other products can actually compete with natural home based recipes. It not only makes the skin supple and gorgeous, but it even keeps the skin beautiful for a long period. But unfortunately, we run out of time. So we hardly find any time to apply these facial masks. We look out for short cuts that are easily available in markets as alternatives.

Fullers Earth - This sedimentary clay has enormous drawing capabilities and is the number one choice for oily skin and those prone to acne. It draws oil from the skin and has been widely used for this exact purpose. Removes dead skin cells, great cleanser. Good for oily or normal skin.

I love this mask! I use it once a week when i have 10 minutes to spare, just apply it, let it dry and rinse off, and in 10 minutes you have soft, smooth skin. Your pores a visibly smaller and it takes off all the oils and just makes your skin look absolutely gorgeous!

Multani mitti (Fuller's earth) is recommended for oily skins. If we use it in extremely dry skin it makes the skin more dry. We use green gram flour to wash body and hair. It also make dry skin more dry

Take fuller’s earth in a bowl, put water in it and mix well. Leave it aside for 2 hours. After 2 hours mix it well again with a spoon and add water to reach a consistency apt for applying on the scalp and hair. Apply the mixture on your scalp and hair and gently massage the scalp for some minutes. Wash hair thoroughly with water. Then leave your hair to dry. This gives a lot of shine and bounce to the hair and makes them very silky to touch.

is multanni mitti good for remove pimple marks, dark spot and pigmentation

Aparna said...

It thoroughly cleanses the skin of excess oil and sebum and this prevents pimples. It removes dead cells and brightens the skin but doesn't help with pigmentation problem.
