‘Ubtan’, an ancient skincare mask originating from India, boasts a rich tradition of use in pre-wedding rituals and skincare practices. Comprising natural ingredients like turmeric, gram flour, milk, and yoghurt, its enduring popularity can be attributed to a range of magical beauty benefits. 

Tightening Pores

Astringent properties of ‘Ubtan’ contribute to skin tightening and the reduction of enlarged pores, imparting a smoother appearance to skin. 

Skin Brightening

Infused with skin-brightening components such as turmeric and saffron, ‘Ubtan’ proves effective in promoting an even skin tone, reducing pigmentation, and enhancing the skin’s innate radiance. 

Lightening Pigmentation

The antioxidant-rich blend safeguards the skin against free radicals, known contributors to premature ageing. Regular application has the potential to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Ultra Hydration

With ingredients like yoghurt, milk, and honey, ‘Ubtan’ harnesses natural moisturising properties, ensuring optimal skin hydration and preventing dryness. 

Exfoliation

Ground lentils, chickpea flour, and rice flour in ‘Ubtan’ act as natural exfoliants, delicately eliminating dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and fostering a smoother complexion. 

Reduction of Acne and Blemishes

Planning meals in advance enhances control over stress eating. Maintaining a written record increases awareness of suitable snack choices.
