Ubtan Meaning and Benefits: Unlocking the Ancient Indian Skincare Secret for Radiant Beauty

 We have been passed Ubtans recipes from our mothers and grandmothers who received them from their mothers, which has been going on for ages. In modern terminology, we call it DIY recipes or powder wash in an even more fancy vocabulary.

But whatever names we add or change, one thing that stays constant is its naturality, which lies in its ingredients. What makes Ubtans unique is its natural blend of ingredients that anyone can make with simple ingredients found in their kitchen or right outside on their lawn.

For every skin issue—acne, dull and dry skin, oily skin, inflammation, or tanning—there exists a Ubtan blend with ingredients that specifically target these concerns. You are put into a lab containing ingredients labeled with their features, and you can mix and match to make your blend that caters to your skin's unique needs.

Dos And Don'ts Of An Ubtan :

While Ubtan is an entirely natural paste to apply, there are a few things to be kept in mind while using an Ubtan to ensure you get the most out of it :

Dos:

  • Patch test first :

Apply a small amount to a small area of your skin to check for allergies to any of the ingredients in your Ubtan paste.

  • Clean your face :

Clean your face by removing dirt or makeup before applying the Ubtan paste.

  • Apply gently :

Apply the Ubtan paste gently to avoid irritating your skin.

  • Stay consistent : 

Regular use of the Ubtan paste 2 to 3 times a week will show visible results in your skin, making it brighter, even-toned, and hydrated.

  • Moisturize after rinsing :

Ubtans can sometimes be drying. Apply a hydrating cream like Wave by Light Up Beauty after rinsing off the Ubtan paste to ensure proper hydration and soft, supple skin.

  • Store properly :

As Ubtan paste is made from natural ingredients, it can go bad quickly if left outside. Store the leftover Ubtan paste in a clean, airtight container and refrigerate it for up to a week.

Don'ts:

  • Do Not Scrub Harshly :

Gently scrub your face while rinsing off the Ubtan without applying too much pressure. It should be used as a mild exfoliant, not a harsh scrub.

  • Keep Away From Eyes :

Do not apply the Ubtan near your eyes or on any other sensitive areas of your skin, as it may irritate.

  • Avoid Overuse :

Using the Ubtan too often can lead to skin dryness and irritation. Apply it 2 to 3 times a week to get the most out of it without making your skin sensitive.

  • Avoid Going Out in the sun right after use :

Do not go out in direct sunlight immediately after using the Ubtan, as your skin may be more sensitive and exposed to sun damage; wear. Wear a high-SPF sunscreen like Gold Rush by Light Up Beauty before going out for complete protection from sun damage.

  • Do not Apply on Damaged Skin :

Please avoid using the Ubtan on cuts, wounds, or irritated skin, as it can further irritate your skin.

By keeping these in mind, you can get the best benefits of your Ubtan paste without the worries of irritating your skin and achieve bright, healthy, acne-free, and completely nourished skin.

How To Apply An Ubtan?

  • Clean your face with plain water, and make sure there is no makeup or dirt on your face before applying Ubtan.
  • After making a thick paste of your customized ingredients, apply a thick layer of the paste, spreading it evenly over your face and neck, covering all the areas.
  • Please wait for it to completely dry, typically 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse it off with water while gently scrubbing your face.
  • Follow up with your usual morning skincare routine of hydrating cream and SPF.
