4. Multani Mitti (Fuller’s earth)-
Multani mitti or the fuller’s earth is the first thing that comes my mind when somebody talks about skin care! I think it is one of the most common and effective ingredient when it comes to skin care. The fuller’s earth has a cooling effect on the skin, it helps in sucking out the extra oil from the skin, and so on.
Benefits for the skin:
- Oil control
- Removes tan

First impression of the mask:
As soon as I opened the tub, I could smell Turmeric and Clay. I followed the instructions given on the pack and prepared the mask. The mask was easy to apply since the powder was really fine, I had no issues in mixing or in applying it. The mask, as I said, has turmeric, so be careful as it will stain your clothes, hands, etc.
My experience with the mask:
When I first used the mask I had two huge zits coming up, so in my mind I thought that this is going to be a litmus test for the mask!! I followed the instructions and washed it off using room temperature water. I noticed that my face was still very yellow (which is very normal if you are used to using turmeric in your masks) since I used it over the weekend I did not panic on seeing my face Yellow! I noticed my zits were little more red than they were before (once again, turmeric and neem does that to your skin, so no need to panic)
I used it 2 times in a week with a gap of minimum 3 days in between. Right after the second application, I noticed that one of the zit had shrunk in size and the other one had started peeling. I have combination skin type and after using the mask I felt my skin was oil free for considerable amount of time. I also noticed that the pores around my nose and chin area looked clean. The mask did not make my skin burn or cause redness after the second use (There was a bit of redness after the 1st use since I had 2 Huge pimples on my face at that time.)
Over all:
Biggest surprise was the noticeable reduction in the size of the active zits. Skin felt cleaner and was oil free for a comparatively longer period of time. The pores looked clean, and skin felt tighter after washing the mask off. I had a tough time getting rid of yellowness after washing the face with only water. After discussing this with Nena from Womn Cosmetics, whom I can’t stop admiring enough for taking such keen interest in each feedback. She advised me to use a mild cleanser or scrub after washing the mask, which helped me in removing the yellowness completely. The skin felt very light (people with oily skin will understand what this means!) The mask is perfect for people who suffer from constant acne and pimples.
The pack is suitable for sensitive skin, however Always do a patch test since every skin is different. Read more about Womn Cosmetics here.
