hey besan face mask chiccies…

help me out will u… ive been appling besan to my already yellow round face about 3 times a week.. but a few days ago, my threading lady informed me that if i do it too often, im gonna get quicker hair growth on my face depending on my skin type (although, im curious how she would know what my skin type is… when she’s hardly ever threaded my face :hoonh: )

soo.. is there any truth in this or is it a myth?

I don't see how it could be true, it's just ground up chickpeas after all.

I know… thanks shahreen.. now i can get back to using it 3 times a week :k:

sadzz -- did you ever post your recipe? i've seen so many versions of it, not sure which to go with.

what the :eek:

besan face mask?

I dont like pakora’s all of a sudden :smiley:

I have been using the mask everyday for a week now. It hasn't made a difference hair growth wise. Sadzzz how many weeks have u been using the mask for?

sahar, i did post it... i'll do it again :)

recipe:

One tablespoon of besan
a quarter teaspoon haldi (turmeric)

squeeze half a lemon into the powder and mix.. u can add milk if u want, but it no biggies. I usually put it in if the lemon isnt enuff

make sure the mixture aint to liquidy.. it should be like a thick paste. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes and then wash off

Pyaari, I've been using it for a few weeks now... and na i dont think its made my hair grow any faster or thicker

how does it affect your skin?

umm it just gives you a real nice glow.. refreshes the skin. Apparently it makes you fairer too.. but i dunno bout that

hay sadzzz.. wouldnt it be better if u stuck ur face in the pakora mix bowl before preparing the pakoras for iftaari every evening? :smiley:

ok sorry, i didnt mean any offence okay, just had this funny thought in my head… u sticking ur face in the besan bowl ready for pakoras. :hehe:

u sad case…

i really dont want the mirchi and onions getting into my eyes.. vaise not bad idea :k: it would save me time though haina

Doesnt the haldi make the skin a ..yellowish colour?

it does.. but if u wash it off properly, it wont :k:

oh.I know it sounds silly, but Iv never tried anything of the sort.

nopes.. doestn sound silly..

its just a desi thing... i think a lot of girls in paki/india use the face mask.. my cousins got me into it while they were here

besan ka banda pakoraaaz banata hay na kay monh pay malta hay ? either that or i am missing some thing :confused:

and lol @ kaka

that doesn’t sound silly :blush: infact that sounds so smart of you :smiley:

ok sadzz,, this guy just called u dumb... now i,m sure u wont tolerate such nonsense!

dude! how dare u! now ur dead! come on sadzzz , get him...

gets on the side with some popcorn

Sadzz, i have never heard that so not sure. But isnt 1/4 tsp haldi too much??I thought you just add a pinch? I once put too much h aldi in my besan face mask. Needless to say my face looked like a salan ki plate :D

:hoonh:

fatalist.. its not that dumb.. its an old desi thing. Ask ur ammi jee about it.. im sure she’ll know

Ira, i dunno.. i put about a quarter in, but then again my tablespoon on besan is quite large.. yeah ive done that before where my face just looks like a ripe banana, but if you wash it off properly, it’ll look good :k:
