News India Live, Digital Desk: ‘Multani Mitti’ (Fuller’s Earth) is considered to be the most effective home remedy to remove extra oil from the face and get rid of pimples and acne. But, according to Ayurveda and skin experts, this ‘magical soil’ is not a boon for everyone. If your skin type is not suitable for it or you are making a mistake in applying it, then it can increase wrinkles and dryness on your face. Let us know about those side effects of Multani Mitti, which people often ignore. 1. Wrinkles may increase on the face. Multani Mitti has skin tightening properties. When it dries on the face, the skin stretches. If you leave it on for too long or talk while wearing it, the chances of ‘fine lines’ and wrinkles on the face increases. It can reduce the elasticity of your skin.2. ‘Enemy’ for those with dry skin: If your skin is already dry, then use of multani mitti can make it worse. It completely absorbs the natural oil (Sebum) of the skin, due to which the face starts looking flaky and lifeless. People with dry skin should use it only by adding honey or milk.3. Risk of rashes on sensitive skin: Multani mitti can be quite harsh for those with sensitive skin. Its use may cause redness, itching or burning sensation on the skin. Such people must do a ‘patch test’ before applying it on their face.4. Problem of cold and cough: Multani Mitti is very cold in nature. According to Ayurveda, people who have sinus, asthma or are prone to catching colds should avoid this paste, especially during the winter season. Applying it on the face for a long time can cause chest tightness. Correct way to apply Multani Mitti (Best Way to Apply) Time limit: Never let it dry completely (becomes like a stone) on the face. Wash the face only when it is slightly wet (about 10-12 minutes). Mixing: Use rose water for oily skin and raw milk or curd for dry skin. Frequency: Use it only 1 or 2 times a week.
