Choosing the right face pack can transform your skincare routine—and help you achieve clearer, healthier skin. Two natural remedies stand out: the Beetroot Face Pack, prized for its brightening and antioxidant power, and Multani Mitti, a classic clay deep-cleanser known for oil control. But how do you decide which suits your skin best? Let’s explore their origins, key benefits, and ideal uses to help you choose with confidence.
What is Beetroot Face Pack?
A Beetroot Face Pack is made from powdered or pureed red beetroot blended with yogurt, honey, or milk. Rich in vitamins A and C, iron, and antioxidants, it nourishes skin and encourages a radiant glow. The vibrant color comes from betalain pigments, which also support skin renewal and anti-inflammatory benefits.
What is Multani Mitti?
Multani Mitti, or Fuller’s Earth, is a mineral-rich clay traditionally used in face packs and masks. Packed with magnesium, silica, and calcium, this clay is known for its powerful oil absorption and detoxifying properties. It’s a go-to for deep cleansing, pore tightening, and cooling effects.
