Frequently Asked Questions
-
An Ayurvedic face cleanser washes the day from the skin using herbs, flours, and gentle bases instead of harsh detergents, cleansing thoroughly while leaving the face's natural moisture in place. The formats range from classical powders to modern washes.
- Ubtan powders: the original soap-free facial cleanse.
- Herbal face washes: gentle daily foam with neem, tulsi, or rose.
- Cream cleansers: comfort for dry and mature skin.
-
The cleanser sets the tone for everything after it, so match it to your skin's nature: oily, breakout-prone skin suits a neem or tulsi wash; dry skin a cream cleanser or milk-mixed ubtan; sensitive skin the mildest rose or aloe formulas. The test is the after-feel, clean but comfortable, never squeaky-tight. A wrong cleanser undermines every cream that follows; the right one halves their work.
-
Twice daily is the classical and dermatological consensus, morning and evening, with an extra rinse after heavy sweat.
- Morning: a light cleanse to wake the skin.
- Evening: the thorough one, removing the day, sunscreen, and makeup.
- More than this strips the skin and backfires into oiliness or dryness.
Lukewarm water always; hot water is the face's quiet enemy.
-
A facial ubtan is a fine herbal powder, typically chickpea flour, sandalwood, turmeric, and rose, mixed fresh into a paste that cleanses, gently exfoliates, and brightens without a trace of soap. Mix a teaspoon with rose water (oily skin) or milk (dry skin), massage softly over the damp face, and rinse before it dries hard. Used a few times a week, it is the most traditional facial cleanse there is.
-
If you wear sunscreen, makeup, or live in a polluted city, a two-step evening cleanse genuinely helps: first a little oil (sesame, coconut, or almond) massaged on to dissolve the day's films, then a gentle herbal wash to rinse it all away. This is the oil-cleansing method, and Ayurveda recognised the principle long ago, oil dissolves oil. Bare-faced, low-pollution days need only the single gentle wash.
-
Tightness is the skin reporting theft: the cleanser took not only dirt but the natural oils the face needs, a common gift of harsh sulphates and hot water. Switch to a gentler herbal or cream cleanser, cool the water, shorten the wash, and moisturise while the skin is damp. A good cleanse ends with skin that feels soft and calm; tightness is never the feeling of "properly clean," only of stripped.
-
A consistent gentle cleanse is the foundation, and a twice-weekly ubtan or clay-based cleanse adds the polish that keeps pores clearer, but no cleanser melts established blackheads overnight. The routine that works is patient: daily mild washing, periodic gentle exfoliation, never aggressive squeezing, and oil-balancing herbs like neem and multani mitti for oilier skin. Stubborn congestion responds best to that steady rhythm, kept up for weeks.
