How to make Uptan ?

Namaste! In India ,we have brides putting on uptan (i.e. A home made paste for glowing skin) in their marriages which is started usually from two three weeks.Now most important question is very few modern Indians are aware about how to make uptan. Different people have given different views.

So, Here you go. I am telling you various ways to make uptan.

1)Collect gram flour, sandalwood powder, lil curd, turmeric, Rose water and make a paste. Now it is ready to apply.

2)Take one cup of whole green beans (moong ki daal) make powder and add turmeric rose water to make a paste and apply.

3)Take besan and mix it with milk and a bit of haldi and also put lemon juice or sandel wood powder and rose water to make it aromatic

4)Take some besan ,honey,few drops of lemon juice and pinch of haldi mix it well try it .

5) Make a thick paste of refined flour ( white flour) and fresh cream. The consistency should be almost but not quite like clay doh!. apply on your face and keep massaging your face. soon bits of paste start falling off your face and so does any makeup/dirt on your face.

6) This is for those who do not have dry skin. Wash your face with gramflour and water paste. rub it and wash it off completely. You have aclean and healthy skin.

7) To get a a glowing skin, collect soak pink gram ( we call it masoorwith the skin removed here) in milk for a couple of hours. Groind it into a paste in your mixer. the consistency is similar to that of cake dough. If it is thick, you can add milk. take a teaspoon and apply on your face like a face pack. wash it off when it dries. Refrigrate the remaining mixture and use it over the next few days.

8) Take one table spoon of almond, pista and cashew paste and mix it with milk malai and rose water. Apply to get glowing soft skin.
