Lalas Multani Matti Powder, also known as Multani Mitti or Fuller’s Earth, is a widely used ayurvedic ingredient for skincare, especially for those dealing with oiliness or acne. Its absorbent properties make it excellent for balancing oily skin and clearing up breakouts, which aligns with its traditional use. For your combination skin type, it could offer a good balance, addressing excessive oil on the forehead and breakouts on the chin.
To use Lalas Multani Matti effectively, I’d suggest creating a face pack suitable for combination skin. Mix one tablespoon of the powder with enough rose water to form a smooth paste. Rose water is ideal as it’s gentle and helps tone the skin without drying it out. If you’re looking for added brightness, you could add a few drops of lemon juice, but be cautious if your skin is sensitive—lemon might irritate the skin. Apply this mixture to your face and leave it for about 15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Using this mask once or twice a week should be enough. Doing it more frequently can dry out the skin, especially since combination skin requires a balance of moisture. In addition, make sure to follow up with a light hydrating moisturizer post-mask to maintain hydration and prevent any dryness.
While Multani Matti can help in managing acne and oiliness, if you’re not seeing improvements or experience worsened symptoms, it would be wise to seek professional advice. Sometimes underlying issues, like hormonal imbalances, could be the root of persistent skin problems and they require a more integrated approach. So, trying out this remedy, in conjunction with a tailored skincare routine, might just help find some relief for your skin troubles.
