A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology says that ubtan is a skin-cleansing mixture made from several naturally derived substances such as lentils, clay, grains, and Ayurvedic herbs.
Here are some of the skin benefits of ubtan mixture shared by Ayurveda expert Dimple Jangda.
1. Exfoliate
The ubtan mixture helps in giving a glowing skin through its exfoliating properties. Ingredients like gram flour and sandalwood powder act as gentle exfoliants, removing the dull and rough dead skin cells from the skin surface, promoting the growth of new skin cells.
2. Provide nutrients to the skin
The ubtan mixture has essential nutrients that help keep your skin healthy. These nutrients help hydrate, moisturize, and protect your skin from damage, resulting in healthier and more radiant skin.
3. Increase blood circulation
Massaging the ubtan mixture onto the skin helps stimulate the blood vessels beneath the skin, thus increasing blood flow which keeps the skin healthy. It also helps remove waste and toxins from the skin cells, giving you a glowing complexion.
4. Reduce inflammation
Many of the ingredients in the ubtan mixture have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a common skin condition that can lead to redness, irritation, and other skin problems. By reducing inflammation, it can help soothe the skin, promoting healthy, radiant skin.
