Hi Monalisa ,
if your skin is oily , just mix multani mitti with cucumber juice or potato juice or with rose water . cucumber juice and potato juices will help in lightening skin and removing acne scars too. rose water and multani mitti will clean your pores and remove extra oil from skin surface.
Mam can i sleep after applying the multani mitti at the night and wash in the morning. Does it effect the skin?
Hi Naveen ,
This will leave your skin very very dry and sometimes itchy. Its best to wash it in 15 mins when it is almost dry . (not completely dry . This may take 15 mins after application)
