With blazing heat waves engulfing us as soon as we step outside, excessive sweating makes it incredibly difficult to apply any skin care. So, as you're on your way to the kitchen for a mid-day snack, grab a container, put your DIY skills to work, and start mixing up these homemade face packs immediately. 

Summer brings a slew of skin troubles, including tan lines and oiliness that can lead to irritation and acne. To beat the summer heat, you can eat a lot of things, but what about your skin? Here are homemade face pack alternatives that are influenced by the searing summer heat and will leave you with relaxed and clear skin.

1. Besan, haldi, and cucumber juice pack: This face mask combats dry skin, acne, and irritation. Besan, commonly known as chickpea flour, is found in every household, so combining it with turmeric, which draws oil from your skin and soothes sensitive skin, is joy. Cucumber juice, on the other hand, quickly cools skin rashes and acts as a mixing agent.

2. Rice flour and yogurt: Rice is widely recognized as a crucial element in all Korean skincare products. When blended with yogurt, it reduces summer dullness, increases hydration, and gives you a glowing complexion. It also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which help to calm your skin throughout the heat while also eliminating wrinkles and fine lines.

3. Multani mitti and rose water: Multani mitti and rose water face masks are ideal for oily skin and have been used since royal times. It is a natural treatment that has been passed down through centuries in India, free of harsh chemicals. It smoothes and softens your skin while also eradicating stains and imperfections. You only need two teaspoons of Multani mitti combined with a few spoons of rose water and you're done.

4. Turmeric and honey: Another antibacterial and antioxidant-rich face mask that kills microorganisms on our skin and decreases acne quickly. It also beats the summer cane and is always available in the kitchen for usage, as well as being kept in the fridge for a cool and relaxing face mask session.

5. Banana, Oats Pace Pack: The high vitamin A content of bananas promotes skin renewal, whereas the exfoliating properties of oats remove dead skin cells and soothe sensitive skin. Yogurt, a natural moisturizer, increases collagen formation, nourishes the skin, and lightens the skin tone.

6. Cucumber, Mint Face Pack: This face pack is a treasure trove for persons with oily, acne-prone skin. Cucumber's soothing properties unclog facial pores, tighten larger ones, and soothe sensitive skin. While watermelon feeds the skin from within and improves the complexion, mint leaves aid in preventing acne and other microbial skin problems.
