While there are many face packs and masks available in the market for an instant glow, it is crucial to consider your skin type before purchasing them. However, using homemade ingredients to bring radiance to your face is considered the safest and most effective method.

Let’s learn the right way to prepare and apply this traditional homemade *ubtan* (natural scrub).
**Traditional Homemade Ubtan**
Made from common household ingredients, this *ubtan* helps bring a natural glow to the face. Here is what you need to make it:
**Ingredients**
2 teaspoons gram flour (besan)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon sandalwood powder
1 teaspoon almond powder
1 teaspoon honey
2-3 saffron strands
1 tablespoon rose water
Raw milk (as needed)
**Preparation Method**
First, combine 2 teaspoons of gram flour, 1 teaspoon of sandalwood powder, and 1 teaspoon of almond powder in a bowl.
Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric and 1 tablespoon of rose water, and mix well.
Finally, add 1 teaspoon of honey, the saffron strands, and enough raw milk to achieve the right consistency. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to form a thick paste.
Note: If you have very oily skin, use water instead of milk. Milk can make the skin feel too creamy or oily, which might increase the risk of acne.
Your homemade *ubtan* for an instant glow is now ready.
**Application Method**
Always cleanse your face with a gentle face wash before applying the *ubtan*. Then, apply the mixture evenly across your face and neck. Leave it on for at least 10-15 minutes. As it begins to dry, dampen your hands and massage your face gently in a circular motion, applying light pressure.

**How often should you use this ubtan?** To add a natural glow to your face, you can apply this traditional *ubtan* (paste) made from gram flour (*besan*) and sandalwood 2–3 times a week. Gram flour and sandalwood not only provide a cooling effect but also help improve the skin's texture. The honey and rose water included in the mixture keep the skin hydrated, while turmeric protects it from infections.
