In the 18th century, a dollop of lime clay was extracted from the city of Multan, and the inhabitants were surprised by its amazing cleansing properties. Its popularity rose so high that it got recommended for cleansing and replenishing old monuments.
And now, several years later, multani mitti has become a part of every household, being used for a number of purposes – from cooling the skin to making it glow. This traditional skin care ingredient is rich in minerals, such as aluminium silicate, which offers high absorbing properties that leave the skin fresh and radiant.
Multani mitti is highly beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. Its lime content is known to kill harmful bacteria and remove excess oil and dirt, thus leaving the skin clean and soft. It offers a cooling effect to the skin and relieves the inflammation caused due to severe acne. Fuller’s earth also helps tighten the skin, which further reduces wrinkles and fine lines. Whether you have dry skin or a normal one, multani mitti won’t dissapoint you!

Making a face pack is easy, and it doesn’t need much expertise. It’s just like making juice – just know your ingredients, and it’s done. The best part is that you won’t have to leave the comfort of your home. Isn’t that just great?
For making the perfect Multani mitti face pack, take a small plastic bowl and add Multani mitti to it. Now, add in the different ingredients (like milk, honey, or rose water) and whip it into a smooth paste that carries no bubbles.
Make sure that your paste is neither very stiff nor very watery. You can check its consistency from time to time by dipping your little finger in it. If it is grainy and sticky, you need to add more Multani mitti to it. If it feels very rough, add a few drops of rose water to it.
Keep in mind to wash the bowl immediately after you are done with the application as Multani mitti is quick to harden, which may cause some trouble in washing off later on.
