5 DIY Rainy Season Face Packs That Work Quickly

The air’s sticky, your hair’s doing its own thing, and your skin? Let’s just say it’s going through a lot. Welcome to monsoon season—where oily areas get oilier, dry patches show up uninvited, and your T-zone is shinier than your best highlighter.

The rainy season is like that frenemy who keeps you guessing—one moment you’re glowing like a goddess, the next you’re a blotting paper’s worst nightmare. But don’t stress! You don’t need fancy serums or 27-step routines. Just 10 minutes, a few kitchen staples, and a dash of desi nuskhas.

Here are 5 fuss-free face packs your skin will love (and your schedule won’t hate).

# Besan + Rose Water = Your Anti-Stickiness Hero

Oldie but a goldie—besan (gram flour) isn’t just for crispy pakoras. It's your skin’s BFF in humid weather. It mattifies, gently scrubs away grime, and keeps the oil slick in check.

How to use:
Mix 2 teaspoons of besan with 1–2 teaspoons of rose water into a smooth paste. Apply, relax for 10 minutes, then rinse.

Why it works:
It soaks up oil, tightens pores, and leaves you looking fresh—not frazzled from that humid rickshaw ride.

# Multani Mitti + Curd = Bye-Bye Breakouts

Sweaty skin is a bacteria magnet, and that’s where multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) steps in.

How to use:
Mix 1 tablespoon of multani mitti with 1 teaspoon of curd. Apply, let it dry for 10 minutes, and wash off.

Why it works:
Multani mitti deep-cleans and controls oil, while curd soothes and mildly exfoliates. Together, they’re the acne-fighting duo your skin needs.

# Sandalwood + Milk = Soothe Mode: Activated

Monsoon irritation got your skin cranky? This combo is pure calm in a bowl.

How to use:
Blend 1 teaspoon of sandalwood powder with enough raw milk to form a paste. Apply and rinse off after 10 minutes.

Why it works:
Sandalwood cools and calms inflammation, while milk hydrates and evens out your tone. Plus, you’ll smell divine.

# Neem + Honey = Your Skin’s Rainy-Day Cleanse

With clogged pores playing host to breakouts, neem and honey are your skin’s monsoon clean-up crew.

How to use:
Grind 8–10 neem leaves (or use powder) and mix with 1 teaspoon of raw honey. Apply, wait for 10 minutes, and rinse.

Why it works:
Neem fights bacteria and fungus, honey heals and hydrates. A detox that doesn’t strip your skin.

# Papaya + Lemon = Instant Glow Fix

Been looking like you’ve skipped the sun for weeks? This is your glow reboot.

How to use:
Mash 2 tablespoons of ripe papaya with a few drops of lemon juice. Apply, leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Why it works:
Papaya gently exfoliates and brightens, lemon fades spots. Together, they bring dull skin back to life—naturally.
