I was admiring my dressing table and all its contents today when I came across a jar of multani mitti (fuller's earth). My mother purchased it many months ago for some strange reason. I was just sitting around doing nothing, so I decided to make myself a face pack. Now let me tell you, I am not someone who slathers on strange stuff on her face. Because of this, I was absolutely clueless about the preparation of the mixture. I consulted my mother and she told me to take a small spoon of multani mitti, a pinch of haldi (turmeric) and a little rose water. The colour of the paste looked yellowish-mustardish. I painted it on my face using a large brush, then waited somewhat impatiently for it to dry.
Oh my God!!! What has happened to my face??? I've washed it and scrubbed it, but my skin just refuses to get rid of this yellow tinge!!! I also smell like my mother's spice box. I feel like a highly aromatic smiley.
Don't you wish there was a Ctrl+Z (undo) in life?
ReplyDeletewell i feel that even the baddest thing that happens in life is a step closer to something beautiful. i got up today morning and had the smoothest and cleanest face ever :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that. A refreshingly smooth and bright face appears after this herbal treatment.
Atleast once in a month, we should spend sometime cleanse, treat and rejuvenate the skin. Though I don't practice nowadays, I've done this during my college before interviews, before stage appearances and all.
Few of my methods:
1. Besan floor + water paste. Apply on face and wait for 20 minutes.
2. Fem bleach
3. Keeping my legs for 20 minutes in warm water + shampoo. This especially helps me as a sportsman, to prevent my socks from stinking.
i should tell me brother to do the same. his feet have an odour problem too. :)
ReplyDelete"A highly aromatic smiley" = hilarious and very descriptive! I thought cooking with turmeric was bad enough....
ReplyDeletedesipolitan - hehe. the horror it was! as for cooking with turmeric, just use a pinch or thereabouts.
ReplyDeleteLOL! God, Don't tell me! The same thing happens to me if i use plain haldi with multani mitti... Yellow face, I think I start to smell like popcorn :D
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't happen when u mix a tinsy-winsy pinch with curd..
popcorn! lol, that's hilarious. i will keep it in mind to add curd next time, whenever that happens!
