You shouldn't leave a Multani Mitti face pack on overnight. While it can be beneficial for oily skin, its drying properties can strip your skin of its natural moisture if left on for too long. It's best to apply Multani Mitti and wash it off when it dries, usually within 10-15 minutes.
Here's why you should avoid leaving Multani Mitti on overnight:
- Excessive dryness: Multani Mitti absorbs oil and impurities, but leaving it on overnight can lead to excessive dryness and even irritation.
- Potential for skin damage: Prolonged exposure to the drying effects of Multani Mitti can damage the skin's natural barrier, making it more susceptible to infections and other problems.
Instead of leaving Multani Mitti on overnight, try these alternatives:
- Use it as a spot treatment: Apply Multani Mitti directly to acne pimples and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before washing it off.
- Add a hydrating ingredient: Mix Multani Mitti with yogurt, honey, or aloe vera gel to create a face mask that will be less drying.
- Limit its use: Use Multani Mitti face packs no more than twice a week to prevent over-drying.
