Oily skin suffers from overactive sebaceous glands hence excess oil resulting in clogging of pores and acne. This is difficult to tackle, mainly in summers. If you have the same struggle, here is a face mask with gram flour to rescue you.
Gram flour is known for its absorbent properties. It soaks the excess oil from the skin. It also has scrubbing benefits with a cleansing effect. Using it reduces the black and whiteheads and gives clear and glowing skin.
How to make a gram-flour face mask?
Add 2 tablespoons of gram flour in a bowl, add a pinch of turmeric and make a thick paste by adding water. You can opt for rose water too.
Now apply a very thick layer of this mask on your face and let it dry for at least 20-25 minutes. When dried, wash with plain water. 
You will see your skin is clearer with an improved complexion and tone. It will also leave your skin soft and smooth. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric are synergized with gram flour. You will also notice lesser breakouts and will start observing improvement after the use of the very first mask. For longer and lasting benefits, apply it regularly but don’t apply it more than twice a week.
