How to be prepared?

We ditch face packs as it is a lot of work. You mix up the ingredients, you soak your face in it and then you wait! Honestly, who has the time for that? We all want faster results and we all want to wake up like beautiful victoria secret models, don’t we? But my friend, good things come to those who wait! And work for it!

• Choose face packs according to your skin type. If you have an oily skin, go for a face pack that controls the oil production in your face and cleanses your pores. If you have a dry skin, make sure you opt for a face pack that nourishes your face.
• Give yourself the extra time. Have me time in your daily routine, your skin deserves it!
• If you’re using natural and homemade face packs, make sure your ingredients are fresh and clean.

Face pack for dry skin

People who have a dry skin lack the soft glow and nourishment. The skin appears flaky. Dry skin can age or have wrinkles really fast and fine lines are present on the list too! You can DIY face packs that suit your skin perfectly.
