Face packs can become your skin’s best friend during the 21-day lockdown. While it sure is a bummer that you cannot step out of your home during this time, there’s also some good that comes out such a situation. The world is healing (air and pollutions levels have dropped worldwide) and so is our skin. Since we’re now indoors, our skin does not have to deal with clogged pores due to dirt and pollution in the air or suffer from UV radiation on a daily basis – our skin can finally breathe. Right now, you can take a break from makeup and just focus on skincare. If you haven’t been moisturising enough, do it now. If you haven’t been drinking enough water, do it now. If you haven’t been following a basic CTM routine, by all means, do that also now. Think of this situation as an opportunity for your skin to heal and repair itself. One way to make sure that it gets its nourishment is to make a face pack of it using power ingredients mostly found around your home.
