In this era where Korean beauty, also known as K-beauty, has taken over traditional skincare, some people still value the natural beauty secrets available to us. Your skincare routines might be packed with serums, acids, and creams, but there is something timeless about that face mask and body mask made of ingredients in your kitchen that your mother often resorts to. Nothing can beat a wholesome face pack made with natural items like turmeric, besan (gram flour) and raw milk, which not only gives you glowing skin but effectively fights acne and blemishes. Growing up, we all have heard of ubtan, or even saw our grandparents using it often. Ubtan is nothing but a traditional Indian skincare paste used on the face and body to brighten the complexion, reduce facial hair, and remove tan. While waxing and shaving have become the most popular way to remove body hair now, this mix of herbs, grains, and oils was earlier used as a hair remover and exfoliator to remove dead skin cells. If you are someone who still appreciates simplicity and purity in their beauty routine, here is all you need to knowKey Ingredients:
- Besan to exfoliate the skin.
- Turmeric to reduce acne, scars, and give the skin a natural glow.
- Sandalwood powder to soothe skin irritation, and reduces pigmentation.
- Milk or Yoghurt to moisturise and soften the skin.
- Rose water to add a refreshing fragrance and balance the pH levels.
- Mix all the ingredients into a paste.
- Apply it evenly to your face and body.
- Let it dry for 15-20 minutes.
- Once it is dry, gently scrub it off with lukewarm water.
