Beauty rituals and Ayurveda go hand in hand in India. Growing up, we all had to try natural remedies for healthy skin such as besan (chickpea flour), multani mitti, dried flower petals, neem leaves and many more.
While we would love to try variations of homemade face masks, the options can often be limited due to seasonal ingredients and lack of know-how in combining ingredients. Ayurvedic practitioner Dr Aparna Padmanabhan shared a list of simple, Ayurvedic, bowel-friendly face masks that can be made in a short time and in a few simple steps.
