thankz 4 letting me kno ashheavan.... i willl make the paste 2day and start using.... do i use everyday or every other day for quick and best results??/

I shall PM you details soon Inshallah.. and thank you for the appreciation. :)

There's a very basic recipe for ubtan on this thread.. Depilex takes orders as well in the UAE and can send it across to you as well.

U can grind the chandan stick along with the turmeric.. regular haldi is alright if u can't find the wild turmeric and yes mix it with fresh lemon juice.

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

gina..as im going pakistan...will dupilex sell ubtan...can i buy fro them...what should i looke out for...and whats the prices and how long does one tub/pot last?

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

hi gina,
this thread is really useful
is there any way to remove short hairs on arms, apart from waxing. epilating or shaving? got a wedding next month and want to mehndi on, and dont want the pattern to come out patchy?

thanks in advance for your help.

Waxing short hair is difficult.. u're only choices are epilating or threading (dust the area with talcum powder) and get someone to thread for u :)

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

and everytime i wax afterwards its itchy and ticklish? am i allergic to the wax or is thre something wrong with my skin? thx,gna get some one to thread for me :)

What type of wax do you use?

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

i use green tea honey wax?

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

OK. So just mix honey and cinnamon(powder) together and then apply it to the face??

^ Not the entire face, JUST the pigmented area's!

Green tea wax.. try a cold wax and see if that works?

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

Ahh okay cool I'll try that. :D Jazakallah khair in advance.

Re: ~ Glowing Brides ~

cold wax? is that the one like the precoated strips?

That's also cold wax.. u also get it in small tubs.. that u spread-on with u're fingers and pull-off in the opposite direction.
