क्या हम रोज़ाना चेहरे पर मुल्तानी मिट्टी लगा सकते हैं? - #43170

Daily application of multani mitti, or Fuller’s Earth, is generally not advised, especially for those with a tendency toward dryness or sensitive skin. It’s true that multani mitti is excellent at absorbing excess oil and help unclogging pores, which makes it beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. However, using it every day can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and a disrupted skin barrier. This is particularly true given your experience of tightness and flakiness after leaving it on for too long.

Instead, continue using multani mitti once or twice a week, which is a suitable frequency for most skin types. If you find that your skin is excessively oily, sticking to twice a week can help balance the oil levels without over-drying. When preparing your mask, mixing it with rose water is good for its soothing and astringent properties, but if you’re experiencing signs of dryness, consider adding ingredients like honey or yogurt. Honey can provide hydration and act as a natural antibacterial, while yogurt offers gentle exfoliation and moisture.

Each time you apply the mask, monitor how your skin feels afterward. If it still feels dry or uncomfortable, you might want to reduce the duration you leave it on, keeping it to 10-15 minutes. Use a gentle moisturizer afterwards to maintain hydration balance.

When dealing with breakouts, lifestyle factors such as diet, stress management, and hygiene also play a crucial role. Consuming a diet rich in whole foods, hydrating well, and cleaning skin with a mild cleanser can support the health of your skin alongside these treatments.

If your breakouts persist or worsen, it might be worthwhile consulting a dermatologist to ensure there isn’t an underlying issue needing targeted treatment. They can also offer tailored advice that complements any Ayurvedic solutions you’re considering.
