Kitchen-friendly dal face packs

Rising sun exposure, pollution, and scorching heat can leave your skin looking uneven, tanned, and extremely dull. While the skincare market is flooded with expensive de-tan treatments, other natural options are quietly lying in your kitchen. For once, try dal face packs, which help in gently removing dead skin cells, restoring your natural glow, and can do much more than just nourish your body. These daily face packs deserve a spot in your skincare routine.

2/5

Masoor dal

Masoor dal, or the red lentil, is one of the most popular ingredients in homemade skincare, known for its grainy texture that gently exfoliates the skin and removes the dead skin cells, revealing brighter skin underneath. Just take 2 tablespoons of masoor dal, 1 tablespoon of raw milk, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Soak, grind, and apply, and you'll get a brighter skin tone.

Chana dal or Bengal grams

Chana dal has been a staple ingredient in several traditional face packs and ubtans for generations. When you blend it with turmeric, it creates an excellent de-tan treatment for summers. Just take 2 tablespoons of chana dal powder with a hint of turmeric and rose water if required. Blend all to create a smooth paste and apply directly.

Urad dal or black gram

If you have intense tanning with dry and irritated skin, then the urad dal with aloe vera combo is an ideal combination for you. Just take 2 tablespoons of urad dal powder with 1 tablespoon of fresh aloe vera gel. Blend both and evenly apply them to your face for 15 minutes. Rinse your face and witness that it will calm the sun-damaged skin, hydrate the pores, and improve natural elasticity as well.

Toor dal, or red gram

Toor dal is known for its gentle exfoliation properties, and when you blend it with tomato, you’ll get brightened, natural-looking skin. You just need to soak 2 tablespoons of toor dal in water with 1 tablespoon of fresh tomato pulp. Blend and apply both to your face, leave it for half an hour, and then gently wash your face. This combination helps reduce tanning, brightens the skin, and removes all the impurities.
