1 Pakistani-American Reveals Her Family's Best DIY Beauty Secrets

What You Need:

• 1 cup gram flour (garbanzo bean flour), also called besan
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon milk cream or half and half
• 1 teaspoon rose water (for fragrance)

Directions:

1. Start by making rose water: Boil 1 1/2 cups water and add the petals from two roses. Turn down the heat and simmer the mix for about five minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool, then simply strain the water and store it in a jar.
2. To make the Ubtan: Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl, then add the honey, lemon juice, milk, coconut oil, rose water, and half and half. You want the consistency of the mixture to be thick enough to stay on your face but not too thick that it becomes difficult to apply.
3. Apply it on clean skin. Leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse off to reveal glowing skin.
