Healthy skin does not need a long list of chemicals. Indian beauty traditions have relied on herbs, clays and flowers for generations. Herbal skincare is gentle, affordable and easy to adjust to your skin type, making it a great choice for daily care.
Oily and acne-prone skin often does well with neem, multani mitti and tulsi. Dry skin enjoys aloe vera, sandalwood and milk-based packs. Sensitive skin prefers soothing ingredients such as rose petals and aloe vera. Knowing your skin type helps you choose the right herbs.
Ubtan, a blend of besan (gram flour), turmeric and sandalwood mixed with rose water or milk, is a time-honoured way to cleanse and gently exfoliate skin. It removes dirt and dead skin while leaving the face soft. Use it two to three times a week in place of soap.
Pure rose water is a classic natural toner that refreshes skin and helps maintain its balance. For oily skin, a toner made by boiling and cooling neem leaves in water is traditionally used to keep the skin clean and clear. Apply with a cotton pad after cleansing.
Multani mitti (fuller’s earth) with rose water makes a cooling pack for oily skin. Sandalwood and turmeric with milk is ideal for a healthy glow. Finish with a thin layer of fresh aloe vera gel to moisturise. Remember sun protection during the day, as no herb replaces sunscreen.
Always patch test a new face pack on your inner arm and avoid any herb that causes irritation.
