Collect the necessary ingredients for making ubtan. You'll need turmeric powder, gram flour, milk or yogurt, honey, and optionally, a few drops of essential oil like rose or lavender.
Measure out the quantities of each ingredient according to your desired recipe. Typically, you'll need 2 tablespoons of turmeric powder, 2 tablespoons of gram flour, 1-2 tablespoons of milk or yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Adjust quantities based on personal preference.
In a clean bowl, combine the turmeric powder and gram flour. Mix them well until they form a smooth, uniform mixture. Ensure there are no lumps.
Slowly pour in the milk or yogurt into the turmeric and gram flour mixture. Stir continuously as you add the liquid to avoid clumps. The consistency should be thick yet spreadable.
Drizzle honey into the mixture and continue to stir until it's evenly distributed. Honey adds moisturizing properties to the ubtan and helps in achieving a smooth paste-like consistency.
If desired, add a few drops of your preferred essential oil to the mixture. Essential oils like rose or lavender can enhance the aroma and provide additional skincare benefits.
Once all ingredients are added, mix the ubtan thoroughly until everything is well combined. Make sure there are no pockets of dry ingredients left.
Apply the haldi ubtan evenly to your clean face and body, avoiding the eye area. Allow it to dry for about 15-20 minutes.
Once the ubtan is dry, dampen your skin with water and gently massage in circular motions to exfoliate. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration and keep your skin soft and supple. Enjoy the natural glow and benefits of your homemade ubtan!
