since i wasn't able to find any saeed ghani ubtan, i looked at the ingredients gina suggested and went to the local indian store and picked out a "skin tone-up powder" that had similar ingredients. It is made in India but specifically "for export" so i'm hoping its somewhat good quality. here are the ingredients:
aloe, haridra (haldi in hindi), chandan, amla, masurdal powder, wala (no idea what that is), jasat bhasma (zinc oxide in hindi), shalmalikantak (???), rose, neem, and multani matti.
i'm gonna just mix it with water or milk and report the results here. anyone have any advice on what ingredient i may be able to add to make it more like pakistani ubtan?? the results i would like out of this ubtan: smaller pores, fewer acne scars, and glowing skin!
^ Thanks alot Gina hug but I would have loved it more if you have recommended any night or day creams for myself.. my skin is normal - problem free! Alhamdulillah!! and yes, do suggest something about facial hair removing,.. i've never waxed on face or used anything to remove my facial hair.. but i want to go for hot wax in wedding services! i've heard from people if you wax once you'll have to wax it forever as the hair texture would be harder or more visible after a couple of months.. so scared to do that also..what do you suggest Gina?
If u're going to wax/thread make sure u do it atleast 5 months prior to u're wedding..many girls breakout after it. Bleaching is safe..
Many creams that suit one person may not suit everyone.. u can try Olay products..
Gina, where can you get red sandalwood powder and wild turmeric in Pakistan. I tried looking for the turmeric at Saeed Ghani but it wasn't available.
Secondly, can the ubtan sold at Saeed Ghani be used on the face. My mom said it has too many chemicals and is not the real thing, but I would like a second opinion on that. Help?
Red sandalwood and wild turmeric can be found at any 'pansari's' store.. or herbal store..if not use u're regular turmeric.
Saeed Ghani's norangi ubtan is safe to use on u're face..
^ m not really up for au-natural where my armpit hygiene is concerned … lol … but the website says it’s nothing but pure alum … and thats what’s been written here to use for reducing face hair … wet alum … so why not … unless you know some insider story
Hey all,
I am ishallah getting married in nov ... just wanted to ask if you guys can suggest anything to make skin better during ramzan? As we cannot drink water all day.. and it is very difficult to have too much at sehr or aftar.
Also i would like to share a remedie i used.. take a little "kali zeeri" with water every morning before eating anything. It reduses blemishes and is good for the matabolism as well.
Gina your help is required. I need to get a fresher skin before my wedding
I am getting married in November and as its drawing close I am getting worried about my skin. I have developed flaky patches on my skin on the cheeks as if it was going dry but my T zone is quite oily. I went for a facial recently and it did not help.
I really need help for my skin looking clear on my wedding. I also have acne marks which are looking reddish nowadays.
Now I live in NZ and dont have access to things like wild turmeric and ubtan etc to apply to my face. I can just get basic stuff here.
Please suggest something (which hopefully will be available here) and how often I should be applying it.
And now that I am writing to you, I'l also ask this. My tummy and back is quite dark even though I am wheatish complexion! Anything that can help that?
Thanks a lot in advance. I have been going through this forum and a lot of your suggestions seem very apt and maybe girls have posted good results too. I hope it works on me too!!!
Are the white patches dry area’s? If you can get a couple of sessions of microdermabraision done..
The Body Shop has a great product i’d like for u to try..It’s called Vitamin C Micro-Refiner..it’s a very fine exfoliant..see if that gets rid of the dry/flaky area’s.
