- Ubtans
The application of Ubtans is an age-old beautification routine for the skin that was performed during the ancient times, when readymade cosmetic products and services were not easily accessible. According to the 6000 years old Ayurvedic rituals, Ubtans were traditionally prepared with a coarsely ground legume as the base. Facial Ubtans are natural cleansers that have been used for centuries in India, to achieve clear and radiant skin. May we suggest you explore the Forest Essentials Facial Ubtans that are blended with fresh sundried and hand-pounded herbs and flowers, with each variant having different benefits for the skin. While the Facial Ubtan Multani Mitti is ideal for acne prone and oily skin as it clarifies acne and blemishes, the Facial Ubtan Roop Nikhar & Gulab, curated with freshly plucked petals of the Indian Rose, is known for its deeply hydrating and age-defying properties. The Facial Ubtan Narangi & Nagkesar is a blend of herbs including Narangi Peel and Nagkesar which effectively refine the skin’s pores and illuminates the skin tone without stripping its natural moisture. The Facial Ubtan Soundarya, on the other hand, is a gentle exfoliating treatment that is prepared with a myriad of herbs including Neem, Rose, Turmeric, Saffron and many more, to prevent premature aging and reduce pigmentation to reveal healthy and glowing skin.

How to choose Facial Ubtans as per your skin type?
As per Ayurveda, the usage of Ubtans should be in accordance with your Dosha or the specifically imbalanced Dosha that you are experiencing at that moment. Ubtans for Vata dosha contain more moisturizing ingredients, while cooling and soothing ingredients suit the Pitta dosha. For Kapha dosha, ingredients that are warm in nature are known to be the best.
Does using Facial Ubtan brighten your skin tone?
Facial Ubtans are exfoliators that gently remove dead skin cells to reveal healthy skin. Accumulation of dead skin cells can result in the skin looking dull. When you exfoliate with a Facial Ubtan, this layer of dead skin cells gets removed, which further results in revealing a healthy looking skin with its natural glow and a soft and toned texture.
