Frequently Asked Questions
-
A face pack is a traditional paste of clays, herbs, and flours, called a mukha lepa in Ayurveda, that you spread on the face, let dry partly, and rinse off, drawing out impurities and leaving skin clean and glowing. It is India's original weekly facial treatment.
- Natural pastes mixed with water, rose water, milk, or honey.
- Lepa, the classical practice of applying herb pastes to the skin.
- One simple step that cleanses, brightens, and refreshes.
-
Mukha lepa is the classical Ayurvedic practice of applying a herbal paste to the face for beauty and skin care, a tradition stretching back to the beauty rituals of queens and described in the old texts. The herbs are chosen for the skin's needs, cooling sandalwood, brightening turmeric, clarifying neem, and applied in a smooth layer. Modern face packs are the direct descendants of this practice, carrying centuries of glow-seeking wisdom into the bathroom shelf.
-
Choose the pack's base and herbs to match your skin.
- Oily skin: multani mitti with neem and rose water.
- Dry skin: chickpea flour with honey, milk, or almond.
- Sensitive skin: sandalwood and aloe, gentle and cooling.
- Dull skin: turmeric with a little yoghurt for glow.
-
Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, until it is touch-dry but not cracked and hard, then rinse, since letting a pack fully harden draws moisture back out of the skin.
- Apply an even layer to clean skin, avoiding eyes and lips.
- Relax while it sets, ideally lying down.
- Rewet with water and rinse off with gentle circles.
- Moisturise straight after to lock in softness.
-
Once or twice a week is ideal for most skin, enough to keep the complexion clear and glowing without over-treating. Oily skin can manage twice weekly; dry and sensitive skin do better with once weekly or even fortnightly, using more nourishing pastes. Daily packs strip and irritate the skin, so resist the temptation. The skin should look fresh and feel comfortable after, never tight, stripped, or red.
-
Yes, the classic Indian ubtan takes minutes: mix two spoons of besan (chickpea flour) with a pinch of turmeric and enough rose water or milk to form a smooth paste, apply, and rinse before it fully dries. Add sandalwood for cooling or a little honey for dryness. Use fresh batches, patch test new ingredients, keep turmeric modest to avoid temporary staining, and never apply home packs to broken or irritated skin.
-
Turmeric, "the golden spice," is the heart of countless Indian face packs because it is traditionally treasured for supporting clear, glowing, even-toned skin, which is why brides are anointed with it before weddings. Used in small amounts in a besan or sandalwood base, it brightens the complexion beautifully. Keep the quantity modest, since too much can tint fair skin yellow temporarily, and choose cosmetic or Kasturi-style turmeric blends made to minimise staining.
