My Best ubtan

chic-chick · May 12, 2009, 5:23pm

Just want to share what I have been happy with

I have tried 3-4 different recipes for ubtan this one turned out to be the best.

Powdered:
chandan
orange peel
almonds with skin on(not the shell)
beesan
haldi

I keep this as my base ubtan and add different ingredients depending on what I am using it for. Usually I use it with Olive oil, lemon juice, some milk, honey

I don’t scrub like crazy but I leave it on my skin for 15-20 min or until it is dry and then moist it again with wert fingers/paper towel and slowly rub without pulling my skin. I rinse my face with water but don’t wash my face with face wash/soap afterward, just put
moisturizer on and go to bed.

Optional
cinnamon powder
yogurt
cucumber juice

Your right Pareezay. I just googled it: Chandan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But what does it do for the skin?

Re: My Best ubtan

chandan is sandalwood powder.

I have blemish prone skin, so this ubtan is kind of clearing my skin, I used it for 5-6 times and ppl told me that my skin look clear than before.
