How many of you are a fan of DIY packs? Well, I definitely am. When talking of homemade packs you can’t possibly not talk about Ubtan – a mixture of besan (Chickpea flour), Haldi (Turmeric) and Chandan (Sandalwood powder).
For every skin problem, you have one or another Ubtan pack just with a little twist. And also you can use Ubtan not just as a face pack but, also as a scrub and face pack, isn’t it amazing?
Let’s check out Ubtan face packs for all types of skin woes.
Ubtan Pack For Fair Skin
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. of Rice flour
- 1 tbsp. of Besan (Chickpea flour)
- 1 tbsp. of Sandalwood
- 1/2 tbsp. of Turmeric powder
- Rose water as per your preferred consistency.
- Mixing bowl
- Brush
Preparation Time
5 minutes
Processing Time
30 minutes or until the pack completely dries whichever is earlier.
Process

Keep it until it completely dries out.
Wash it off with cold water in circular motions.
If you have dry skin then you can add 3-4 drops of glycerine to it.
How Often Should You Apply?
Apply this pack twice or thrice a week.
Why This Pack Works?
Rice flour has been widely used in the Asian beauty skin regime. It reduces Melanin in the skin (Melanin is a natural pigment of the skin). More amount of melanin leads to darker complexion. Hence, by reducing melanin, rice powder brightens up the skin tone. Besan removes dead cells and Turmeric is a natural skin lightening agent. So, now you know why this face pack is a big thumbs up for us!?
