4 Homemade Face Packs For Combination Skin

While face packs for most skin types are easy to whip up, it's a different ball game with combination skin. Because this type is split into zones that react differently, it needs the right pack that accommodates its many demands. Thankfully, we've got the solution with 4 face packs that are created specifically for combination skin.

1. The cream pack

In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of milk cream, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of oatmeal and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well and apply it over your face and neck. Leave it for 30 minutes and wash off with warm water. While cream and honey nourish dry patches on the face, lemon will work on oiliness while oatmeal will soothe the face.

2. The orange peel pack

Collect the peels of a few oranges once you've eaten them and dry them in the sun until shriveled and dry. Then grind into a mixture to form a granulated powder and store it in a jar. For your face pack, mix 2 tablespoons of this orange peel powder with 1 tablespoon of curd. Apply it over your face and neck then leave it to dry for 20 minutes. Once you wash it off, you'll find your face bright and refreshed. For that, thank the magic of revitalizing orange and moisturising curd.

3. The papaya pack

Mash 3 tablespoons of papaya flesh into pulp. To it, add 1 tablespoon of cold milk and 2 drops of almond oil. Combine well and apply it over your face and neck. Once it has dried after 40 minutes, wash away with warm water. Papaya and almond oil will nourish the dry spots intensely while milk will soothe away oiliness and irritation.

4. The cucumber pack

Grate half a cucumber into a fine paste in a bowl. To it, add 3 tablespoons of rosewater and mix into a paste. Apply to your face and neck then leave your face to dry for 20 minutes. Finally, wash it off with cold water. With refreshing cucumber and soothing rose water, this pack will give your skin a sure shot of hydration.
