Forgotten Ayurvedic Skincare Remedies Your Grandmother Would Approve

Neem skincare Ayurveda

Haven't we all heard it that our 'Grandma knows best'. Why wouldn't they? They have survived the times when access to extraordinary medicines were not just a click away. We may have better resources now, but what they know is through experiences and their wisdom still resonates with what <span>Ayurveda</span> has been teaching. So let us delve into some of the forgotten <span>skincare</span> remedy, which are both Ayurvedic and Grandma approved!

<h4>Exfoliation And Brightening With Ubtan</h4>

So many brands have now taken over the ubtan facial, but before it came in such handy and cute packages, it was our grandmas who had shared their hacks for a flawless skin. This is a concoction of yogurt, gram flour, and turmeric powder, which has every quality to make your skin feel soft and take away the dirt with one wash. In fact, in Indian weddings, we often see this ceremony is celebrated where the bride and groom are applied this very ubtan all over their face and limbs. The purpose is simple. You do a quick <span>skin care</span> right before you get married, but turn it into a fun ritual. 

When you are making this face pack, just be a little conservative with the turmeric, don't go overboard with it. 

What good does it do? It is an al;-rounder when it comes to skin care. Yogurt is a great moisturizer and the good bacteria in it can help the skin be healthy. Turmeric gives your skin a brighter look and gram flour is a great, but gentle exfoliator. 

Atta, or wheat flour, mixed with water and mustard oil is a great way to polish your skin and to also remove your hair! At the time there was no wax strips available in the market, this is what our grandmas used. It is simple, pure, and Ayurvedic. The best part? All these ingredients are also easily available in your kitchen. You can apply this paste for 10 minutes and rub it off to feel the gentle skin underneath.

If you have heard fuller's earth, you know what is about to happen. The two very common face packs approved by both Ayurveda and our Grandmas are ubtan and Multani mitti. It is easy to make, mix Multani mitti with water and apply to skin and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. You can then wash off with lukewarm water, and find a soft, plumped and glowing skin underneath!

In India, rose water had been in use since time immemorial. From queens taking rose water baths, to medieval kings using its scents, this had very well been part of the culture. This is what also makes your skin feel smooth and hydrated. You can get some aloe vera gel from your own kitchen garden, mix it with a few rose water and soak a cotton ball in it and use it to dab on your skin to cleanse. You can then apply some more aloe vera gel and sleave it from 10 to 15 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water and see the magic!

How can we talk about skincare and miss out on acne? They are like the worst enemy for anyone trying to take care of their skin. But fear not, because Ayurveda has a cure of it too! Just luck some neem leaves, and boil it with 250 ml of water for 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the water in your icecube tray and freeze it. Then use these neem icecubes to cleanse your face. This could be a great skin hack, especially during the summers and the humid weather, when pimples and acne are on its peak.
