Some home-made face packs to banish away the winter debris from your face:

1. Mix half a teaspoon of honey with the yolk of an egg and one teaspoon of dried milk powder. Mix into a paste and apply on the face. Remove after 20 minutes with plain water.

2. For oily and acne-prone skin, mix half a teaspoon honey with the white of an egg and one teaspoon curd. Add fuller’s earth (multani mitti). Mix into a paste and apply. Remove after 20 minutes with water.

3. Make a pulp of ripe papaya and apply on the face. Papaya has a cleansing action. It softens dead cells and aids their removal.
