Homemade ubtans to try




Common skin issues like pigmentation and dark patches might be brought on by sun exposure, hormone fluctuations, or acne scars that have not gone away. Many people swear by traditional ubtans, a tried-and-true Ayurvedic treatment that uses natural components to improve skin clarity, rather than employing chemical therapies. Prepare to bid adieu to black spots with these DIY, natural ubtans. The Ayurvedic method will give you lighter, more balanced skin if you apply it consistently and with patience. To naturally lessen black spots, try these seven DIY ubtans at home:

2/8

Turmeric and besan ubtan




Ingredients:


2 tbsp chickpea flour (besan)


½ tsp turmeric


1 tbsp milk or rose water


One of the most effective ubtans since time immemorial, this one will light up your skin. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and brightening properties, while chickpea flour gently exfoliates. This ubtan helps reduce pigmentation and gives your skin a natural glow.

3/8

Sandalwood and rose water ubtan




Ingredients:


1 tbsp sandalwood powder


1 tbsp rose water




Sandalwood is known to brighten your skin, and remove tan. Sandalwood is known for its cooling and skin-evening properties. This soothing ubtan works wonders on dark spots and gives your skin a refreshed look.

4/8

Multani mitti and tomato juice ubtan




Ingredients:


1 tbsp multani mitti (Fuller’s Earth)


1 tbsp fresh tomato juice




Tomato is amazing for your skin. Tomato juice is rich in lycopene and natural acids that help fade dark spots. Multani mitti tightens the skin and absorbs impurities, making this a perfect ubtan for oily skin.

5/8

Almond and milk ubtan




Ingredients:


4-5 soaked almonds (ground into paste)


1 tbsp raw milk




Almonds can nourish the skin complexion and give you bright skin in a few days. Almonds are packed with vitamin E, which helps lighten dark spots and nourish the skin. Milk adds a mild bleaching effect for a more even tone.

6/8

Neem and tulsi ubtan




Ingredients:


1 tbsp neem powder


1 tbsp tulsi powder


1 tbsp yogurt




If you are suffering from acne and blemishes, this ubtan is for you. This antibacterial ubtan clears the skin of breakouts that may lead to scarring and pigmentation. It also calms inflamed skin while targeting dark spots.

7/8

Orange peel and honey ubtan




Ingredients:


1 tbsp orange peel powder


1 tsp honey


1 tsp curd




Dried orange peels make for the best skincare ingredient. Orange peel is loaded with vitamin C, which helps lighten pigmentation. Honey hydrates and soothes the skin, while curd gently exfoliates.

8/8

Papaya and oatmeal ubtan




Ingredients:


2 tbsp mashed ripe papaya


1 tbsp oatmeal powder


A few drops of lemon juice (optional for oily skin)


Papaya is amazing for your health but also best for your skin. Papaya contains enzymes that help reduce pigmentation. Combined with oatmeal, it makes a nourishing and exfoliating ubtan suitable for dull, spot-prone skin.
