Mesmara Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth) Clay – Natural Face & Hair Pack | 150g

Multani Mitti, also known as Fuller's Earth, is one of the first ingredients that comes to mind when talking about natural beauty and skincare. It takes its name from Multan in the Indian subcontinent and has an excellent ability to absorb colour-causing compounds and impurities from oils, fats and greases. It comes in different natural shades such as white, green, blue, brown or olive, and its fine particle size gives it a large, chemically active surface area with excellent bonding and sealing properties.

For Skin

1. Absorbs Excess Oil From Skin
Being a natural absorbent, Fuller's Earth can be used to remove excess oil from oily skin. It can also help unclog pores and balance the skin's natural pH, making it a popular homemade face pack.

• Mix together equal amounts of Fuller's Earth, rose water and sandalwood powder.
• Apply the mixture on your face as a face pack.
• Let it dry out naturally, then wash it off with lukewarm water.
• Repeat daily for very oily skin, or two to three times a week for moderately oily skin.

2. Helps Reduce The Appearance Of Scars
Fuller's Earth can help reduce the visible appearance of wound scars, minor burn marks or other blemishes over time.

• Mix together ½ tablespoon each of Fuller's Earth, vitamin E oil and lemon juice.
• Apply the mixture on the scar.
• Leave it on for 20 minutes, then wash it off.
• Repeat once or twice a week until the scar fades.

3. Improves Skin Complexion
Fuller's Earth is an excellent cleansing agent that can help brighten your skin complexion.

• Mix together two tablespoons of Fuller's Earth and curd.
• Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes.
• Add one teaspoon of mint powder and blend well.
• Apply the mixture on your face and neck.
• Leave it on for 20–30 minutes, then wash it off with warm water.
• Use regularly, twice a week, for a noticeable improvement. This paste is also helpful for suntan on arms and legs.

4. Helps With Acne-Prone Skin
Fuller's Earth helps unclog pores and reduce excess oil, two common causes of acne and pimples.

• Mix two teaspoons of Fuller's Earth, one teaspoon of neem leaf paste and enough rose water to make a thick paste. Optionally, add a pinch of camphor.
• Apply the paste over the affected area.
• Leave it on for 15 minutes, then wash it off with plain water.
• Pat skin dry and apply a mild moisturiser.
• Use once a week.

5. Improves Skin Elasticity
Fuller's Earth can help tighten and smooth skin that has started to feel droopy or sagging with age.

• Mix one tablespoon each of Fuller's Earth, glycerin and honey into a smooth paste. Mix in one beaten egg white.
• Apply the paste on your face.
• Relax without moving your facial muscles until the paste dries naturally, then wash it off with lukewarm water.
• Use once a week.

For Hair

1. Treats Dandruff
Fuller's Earth has traditionally been used to treat dandruff. It absorbs the oil, grease and dirt that contribute to flaking, and supports scalp circulation.
