Before you start experimenting with these face packs, a few words of caution:

Things To Consider Before Using Tamarind Face Masks
Never use tamarind after you have waxed or shaved your skin. The acids in tamarind might irritate your skin.
Avoid applying tamarind directly on the skin. People who have sensitive skin often tend to be sensitive to acidic fruits such as tamarind. It might cause itchiness.
It is better to do a patch test to see if tamarind suits your skin or not.
Don’t expect overnight results. You might see a few immediate effects, but natural remedies usually take time to show results. Use the face masks religiously and watch them work like magic on your skin.
