3 Homemade Face Packs To Treat Every Winter Skin Care Problem

With the party season finally over and winter in full swing, you can bet your bottom dollar that your skin will definitely need a helping hand. Frustrating skin issues like dullness and griminess seem to crop up with irritating regularity this time of year, but thankfully, all you need to fix them is available to you by simply stepping into your kitchen. So whatever be your skin care problem, try these 3 handy face packs to drive your winter skin worries away.

1. For dry skin that's tight and cracked

Regardless of your skin type, you are sure to face some form of skin dryness in winter, so treat it with this mask. In a shallow bowl, mash 1 medium-sized banana that's slightly overripe. To it, add 2 tablespoons of glycerin and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix thoroughly so that it forms a thick paste then apply well over the face and neck. Leave it for 30 minutes then rinse with warm water. While glycerin and banana are highly moisturising agents, honey is a humectant, so together, they ensure that this face pack nourishes your skin and leaves it moisturised and supple.

2. For grimy skin that's rough and coarse

Blame it on consistent makeup or winter dryness, this season often leaves the face rough with a grittiness that can be felt within the fingers. In such cases, an exfoliating face pack can do the trick. To make one, blend 4 - 5 unpeeled almonds in a mixture until you have a lightly gritty powder. To it, add 3 tablespoons of warm milk and 1 tablespoon of granulated white sugar. Massage gently into the skin while applying over the face and neck, then leave it for 30 minutes and wash off with warm water. Thanks to the lactic acid in milk as well as sugar and almond's light exfoliants, this face pack will get rid of dead skin and dirt in the gentlest way possible.

3. For dull skin that's lackluster and tired

We're going to chalk this skin problem down to the endless nights during the past couple of weeks. To fix your dull skin, try this home remedy. In a bowl, soak 2 - 3 strands of saffron in 2 tablespoons of milk cream and 2 tablespoons of milk, overnight. In the morning, mix it to form a runny paste and apply it over your face and neck. Leave it for 40 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Saffron is a home remedy staple to encourage glowing skin and when combined with milk, it drives away dullness easily.

Whatever be your winter skin care problem, you can trust one of these face packs to fix it.
