For thousands of years Tamil have understood the benefits of the plants in their environment. From food, medicine, to skin care, there is an abundance of ancient wisdom hidden within the Tamil way of life.
Despite having used countless high end beauty products, a simple natural face mask taught to me by my Tamil mother has become an essential beauty hack in my life.
For clear, glowing skin give this life-saving face mask a try!
Turmeric, Rosewater and Chickpea Flour Mask Recipe:
First you are going to create a bulk mix and store the mix in a glass air tight container.
Your powder ratio should be: 2/3 kadala ma (Chickpea flour) and 1/3 manjal (Turmeric)
Shake or mix with a dry spoon until everything is a light orange colour.
Then whenever you’re ready to put a mask on scoop out about 1 tablespoon of powder in a small dish and add a little bit of Rosewater to create a thick paste.
Keep on for 15-20 mins until it’s dry. Then just wash off with lukewarm water.
Note: If purchasing these ingredients in store, make sure you use Rosewater and Turmeric that is meant for your face.
