Turmeric and gram flour scrub

Turmeric and gram flour scrub

You will need:

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon gram flour
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Step 01: In a bowl, mix turmeric, milk and gram flour together to form a thick paste

Step 02: Apply it using your fingers or brush in the direction of hair growth on your face

Step 03: Now gently scrub in the opposite direction of hair growth, this will ensure the facial hair falls out from the roots

Step 04: Allow it to stay for 10 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water.

How it works:

Gram flour has exfoliating properties and turmeric paste acts like a mild glue that sticks to the facial hair. While scrubbing the facial hair gets uprooted easily and comes off along with the paste, leaving you with smooth, glowing and flawless skin.

Don’t forget to follow up with a moisturiser like the Lakme 9 to 5 Naturale Day Creme SPF 20 to keep your skin soft and supple.
