Besan or ‘Sunnipindi’ or whatever scrub you may use like masoor dal (red lentils) or rice flour polish your skin by removing the dead skin. And, in this process, they reveal a new layer of skin. Thus, the result is a clean glowing skin. As a matter of fact, besan is extremely useful in getting rid of dark spots and other conditions of the skin and gives a flawless complexion.But, if you venture out in the sun unprotected by sunscreen, your newly revealed skin is going to be subjected to a lot of environmental factors like dust, pollution and sun. The result is dull and tired looking dark skin. Thus, the connection that besan turns skin black. So, always wear a sunscreen. And, clean your skin well after a session in the sun.
And, I would love to know of any such myths which might be existing and clear them.
Is it ok to have bath with besan evey single day ? I am using a mixture of besan, greengram flour and haldi. Skin feels great and radiant. Please advise
Haldi makes skin to absorb sunlight… So, don’t stay in sunlight after using this pack.. Stay
oh is it? I didn’t know that turmeric helps absorb sunlight. should check out this fact! thanks Sudeshna.

Hi Swathi, This is Megha, Long time since i worte. Wel I just wanted to know if it is ok to have bath with besan every single day? I have been using a mixture of besan, green gram flour and haldi. After bath I use Vaseline body lotion with SPF 24 and for face neutrogena with SPF 15. I dont go out in the sun much. Please advise.

Hi there,
Can I use Besan, Potato juice, turmeric and honey all together for fair skin ??
coconut oil works as a great sunscreen without petroleum based toxic ingredients and it is also a natural anti bacterial agent so it contributes to clean skin and protecting the pores.
yeah that is true but you should not rely only on coconut oil as a sunscreen!!
Hi there,
Can I use Besan, Potato juice, turmeric and honey all together for fair skin ??
yes, Jacy, you can 🙂
Hey hi
Well wanted to ask that my skin is not too much oily or too much dry my complexion was muxh fairer but now gettng dull mixture of milk and haldi someone told if its ok or not??
hydrate your skin and your self properly. use water based products on your skin and eat loads of fruits and dry fruits. that will recover your complexion. this might help.

ya besan is just like bleaching ur skin… People say when you use bleach you turn dark… its when they go out in the sun without sunscreen… I remember i turned orange yellow when i went outside after a facial with bleach… so u should use suncscreen
🙂
Besan / gram flour is not a bleach.

i wanna as u that my neck has dar colour also black phethes
i started appling besan both neck and face ,4 days before
is it good to apply every day????
and also my face skin is oily
and i can apply tomao chice at nyt and besan past at morining??is it goood or not????plzzzz answer
take care 🙂
sorry its “” tomato jucie”
yes, you can. the routine is perfect but try avoiding tomato for everyday…alternate it with cucumber. both are amazing for blemishes and tan!!! yes, you can use besan paste in the morning but remember applying sunscreen in good quantity 🙂
my sin is oily
paste should b made i mean =besan +haldi+curd or besan +haldi+water or besan +aldi+milk??
which 1 i should apply past
so in morining besan past and nyt tomato ryt!!!1
and i dont go outside much so no need to apply sun screen at home
actually i month b4 i got big problem i was using pimple soap and after 3 days of using my skin was lie starting buring =sin was coming out 🙁
then i went to doctor he gave me 1 medicine to apply 4 1 week and he told me to take sunlight to remove germss
soo i want to ask still i need sun light or i start applyig suncream????
don’t use milk for oily skin. use water or green tea instead. its great for pimples.
sunscreen is imp even if you are staying at home!!! you should go out early in the morning at around 6 or 7 to get the desired sunlight but don’t go after 9 till 5 in evening. but, sunscreen is imp inside the house as well coz sun’s rays penetrate the windows and glass 🙂
What is the best Sunscreen for oily skin without parabens? I use an spf 25 gel-creme moisturiser, and make-up everyday… so I need a sunscreen that won’t leave a white residue
There are 2 sunscreens I would recommend irrespective of their having or not having parabens. One is organic n other is chemical sunscreen.

HI,
I am using basan mix with water on the face for 10 mins everyday and wash it off with water and then apply face wash to wash it again. I am getting big spots on the face…. Any advice…..
may be because besan doesn’t suit you…stop using it! and, revert back to your old products if you have changed any recently.
you are dehydrating your skin too much by using both besan and facewash. Use anyone and follow up with an oil-free misturiser and your acne cream.
I agree with Evelyn.
how to know abt ur skin type?i cant figure that out tht which kind of skin i m having
if your skin feels dry, its dry. if it has too much oil in a very short time, its oily and if it has oil only on the nose and the forehead, it is combination. hope this helps 🙂
Hi Swati, i have too many black spots on my face especially on my chin too many…. one of my friend suggested me to use besan as a face wash. now its been 15 days, and my skin becomes so dry after washing from besan and the spots are not gone yet.. plz advice me what i can do so that spots get clear from my face. before my skin used to oily (not that much).
use potato juice on the spots as a spot treatment for the black spots…discontinue besan as it probably isn’t suiting you…it should take a month to show some results!!! do lemme know how it goes 🙂
hi Swathi, thanks for the reply. Is it ok if i can contact through any of your e-mail.
Please mention your ID.

hi swati…how can we make a paste using besan and turmeric..should we add water or milk to it..
thankyou so much swati….:)
🙂
Hello Swati!!
This is my first time that I logged into your site. It seems quite informative.
I am 23 fair, have oily skin. I always apply sun protection on my face and sunscreen SPF 40 on other exposive parts though I wear vail and a face piece when go out. Since one year I am getting zits on my chin and on cheek bones. I wash my face daily in the morning with Derma’due medicated soap (prescripted by dermatologist) and in the evening with besan. At night i apply lip gloss. When I wake up in the morning I find my chin oily. I came across with an article that applying lip gloss on lips at night causes zits. r
Kindly suggest a home remedy to cure these zits from the root. zits leaves spots on my face, please suggest. I wanna also know that which skin type doesnt suit basen and how can I figure it out?
Can I wash my face with basen mixed with oat flour? Kindly mention the quantity of basen and oats.
Please mention your qualification.
Thankyou!! 🙂
hi
welcome to my blog 🙂 first, you should not apply lip gloss at night. only apply lip balm. that might be the reason for oily skin. for zits, you can use aloevera gel right from the leaf. cut the leaf and massage the gel all over your face. slowly the zits will go. besan suits all skin types. just make sure its organic. yes you can mix besan and oat flour. make it 50-50.
i directly apply lemon on my face daily at night and milk in morning does it work for me to get fairskin
yes but try not to use lemon everyday
hi , iam using a paste of 2 tbs gram flour , 1 tsp turmeric and 2 tsp curd mah skin is glowing day by day but m getting pimples too , what should i do now ?should i use few piches of turmeric ?
Hy Swati Ma’am 😊Can you plz give me advice that should I use mixture of besan and multani mitti on my face and neck areatwice a day to get rid of oily skin and to get fairer skin ? And I am a teenager as well.i followed the routine and after some days some white marks on my face appeared .plz give me some suggestion
hi Salina. please do not overdo things. to tackle oily skin, you need to find a face wash which suits your skin first. my suggestion would be to go ponds pollution free face wash. and second, apply moisturizer which controls oil. you will have to see which one suits your skin. use the face pack you mentioned twice or thrice a week. and, get a salicylic acid based face wash from a chemist shop. use it on alternate days. hope this helps 🙂
my complexion get too dark i dont know why i was fair but few months ago my face get very dull and blackish plssssssss help me wat should i do to get my colour back my skin not get tanned but i dont know why my face get dark i apply lemon every night does it work for me:'( pls help me

Hi,
How long does it usually take to see the results by using curd and besan pack ?
Hi Swati … I have a combination skin oily and normal. I was using cucumber, potato, tomato pulp mixed with honey and lime juice all together on my face for a week and then I switched this with besan and curd face pack, also for a week. Now I can spot some small red pimples very tiny on my face .. Can u pls suggest me what can be the reason behind this ? Is this because of fruit pack or the besan face pack, my skin is fair but I have pimple problem, though its not very bad, have some marks also but faint, plss advice me .. I don’t go out in sun much, I also used tomato pulp on my face as I had read somewhere that it helps in oily skin….
Kindly suggest any home made face pack for my skin. I found ur suggestions very informative so thought of writing to you.
Kindly help
Waiting for ur reply
hi Neha….first of all, please go slow on the remedies…overdoing one after another is not good. also, pimples can come because of any reason. its also possible that besan did not suit you or just coz of your diet or PMS symptom or any hormonal issue. yes, tomato pulp helps skin. but, when you are doing something for skin, i would suggest you to just chill out and let the skin also adjust to the remedies you are doing. and, always treat your skin to anything on alternate days as your skin is oily. don’t do it daily and do only one thing at a time.
as for homemade mask, i would suggest you to try potato slices or tomato pulp + aloevera.

hello!well i just came across your blog,i will begetting married in 3 months inshaAllah and a friend suggested i use besan and haldi all over my skin.is it necessary to use the kasturi haldi or store bought is good too? also i have dry skin on my face so whenever i use besan,it draws away the moisture andi break out.i’m scared to use it all over the skin…do you have any substitues or you think it will be fine?
please if you think besan is ok,please let me know if i can use besan and greengram flour because i have mosquito bites on my legs and i want to get rid of them.
thanx,plz reply!!
hey…congratulations 🙂
now, kasturi haldi is good for skin as it doesn’t stain it whereas store bought one stains the skin but you can use the organic variant if you can! ok, since besan doesn’t really suit your skin, you can skip that and simply use almond oil on the body. and, use aloevera gel.
i would suggest that try besan+greengram flour once. mix it with milk or oil and then only use. hope this helps 🙂
hello! i just came across your blog!:) i have dry skin so whenever i use besan for my face,it draws away moisture and i break out.but i have mosquito bites and stretch marks on my legs,also stretch markson my hips and i want to get rid of them.do you think it is safe to use besan and greengram flour all over my body??

hey Lakshmi…please check these posts on facial hair:
https://swathyandsky.com/2010/03/use-sunnipindi-for-skin.html
but, do not use this scrub when you have acne on the skin. once they get healed, only then use this.
and, for acne, use turmeric spot treatment:

hi Vicky…m sorry but i can’t suggest anything for pits but you can wash your face with besan + turmeric everyday and use green tea or water instead of milk to make a paste of the powder. follow with a moisturizer which suits your skin. i don’t know what you are using but if it suits you, its ok.
Hi dis is aravind,
Actually i have oily and dark comolexiin skin.

hi,
I am arvind.i have oily skin+pimples.
what sholud i use other than besan+turmeric as a daily face wash????
Hey, i have facial hair , i heard that using besan wil slow down the growth, i used besan mixed with cream( millai) and turmeric, as i applied it, within 5 mintz ,my face started itching a bit, i washed it off ,after 20 mintz, i got little marks on my face, which got swelled up, very next day ,it got fine and my face started glowing, you think its fine to use this pack? If not , wot else you suggest?
that’s really weird but i would suggest you to use the pack. only make sure besan and turmeric are organic. the commercial store ones can be adulterated because of which you might have got the reaction.
Hey. i m new.. i jst wnt to knw dt wt type of haldi shd b usd with besan? i ve oily skin. so is it gd fr me to apply besan+haldi+rose wtr? n i wnt glow on my face,so plz help me

hi Priyanka…you can follow the above tip…sounds quite interesting but do it at night and make sure you either don’t go out in sun next day or you use proper sun protection. and, instead of using half lemon, you can use some drops of it or may be just the lemon rind after the juice has been squeezed.
Hi, I have been using besan+curd+lemon juice+pinch of turmeric for some time. Ive read somewhere that one should not use face wash while using turmeric powder, Is dat true does it really darkens ur skin ?? What should I do shud i keep on using face wash ??
the mix itself cleanses your face so u need not use face wash but i have never heard of this. i guess it means never to mix face wash and turmeric but still it wouldn’t matter. may be its not true. you can use this mix at morning and the face wash at night. i do that and my skin has not darkened.
Hey!!
I am 20 and i hAve lots of hair on my tummy. !!
Applying besan , haldi and curd will remove the hair or bleach the hair ??
Reply asap or should i go for matka wax!??
i would suggest go fro waxing if you want immediate results. besan and haldi thing will work but in the longer run and you will have to keep on using it forever almost.
hi..i have a dark complexion..can u pls tell me how can i get fair complexion?? and from past 4days m using haldi besan mix with curd..my skin is both oily as well as dry.. pls help me .. will be waiting for your reply..
hi swati..i have a dark complexion..can u pls tell me how can i get fair complexion?? and from past 4days m using haldi besan mix with curd..my skin is both oily as well as dry.. pls help me .. will be waiting for your reply..
yes the besan haldi mix will help in the longer run so use it every night. and it suits the combination skin as well so no issues there 🙂
Wht is the procedure for applying the mixture?? day and night everyday is fine??
n how many days it wl take to show the results??
hi Laveena. yes, everyday is fine. you can do it with once a day as well instead of two. the results are usually visible from day one or at least a week.

Hii i have been using products which use to contain paraben and sulphates …….recently i came to noe that paraben are d cause of breast cancer so i have stopped usin alld products and opt fr besan haildi milk cream honey and lemom pack twice a day a m not usin any face wash is ot ohhk or else can u suggest me d products which are parabin and sulphate free
first of all, parabens do not cause cancer. they are not in that much of quantity that they can cause cancer. second, do not use lemon everyday on the skin. use tomato or potato juice instead.
https://swathyandsky.com/2012/11/ph-level-and-citrus-fruits-skin-care.html?
besan haldi etc. mask is fine for morning but when you come from the outside in the evening, you have to take off makeup or sunscreen so you need to use face wash. check this:

Hi Swati, I am 22 years old. I have fair complexion. But from around last 1 month I am getting pimples on my face and after some days these r causing dark marks. I am also taking vitamin capsules suggested by the doctor. I’ve my engagement after 15 days. plz help me out dear…..
hi…wow…congratulations!
ok, i would suggest this simple remedy. it can be done everyday since you have only 15 days left. but, leave this after the engagement!
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.com/2011/03/drink-apple-cider-vinegar-to-avoid.html
it really works!!
also, make sure that you have not started using something which is triggering a reaction!
Hello. I got a reaction of pimples due to bare mineral makeup because it had some ingredient that some can be allergic to and gives them cystic acne. I used the haldi and besan mask today for the first time mixed with water and like a dab of almond oil. is this safe to do? 3 times a week?
do not use almond oil and instead of besan-haldi, use haldi-ginger juice on the acne. you can use this as spot treatment every night before going to sleep. apply the paste, let it dry or stay till 15 min and wash off.
Hello, I am new to your blog and I found it interesting. My problem is I know that at some point I would be using all the suggested fair skin product you have talked about. Could you please advise me on the most effective one to use. Plus the one I can stick to that would give great results. I am a dark skinned and would love to be fair. I also wanted to ask that can we use just one or can we use as much as the things you have suggested. It would be great if you could get back to me. Thank you.
i have never suggested any fair skin product! also, i have done very few posts on fairness. please go through the following post:

Hi Swati Murti! I’m Vasanthi from London. I have olive skin, but I always had problem with my face. The problem was dry and sometime I ‘ll get white heads on my chin. I used all kind of expensive products. Finally I throw all the artificial out. Few months ago I picked gram flour, turmeric powder, milk and honey. I mix them, made a past then I massage gently for few minutes and washed off with water. Then I apply Nevia rich moisturising cream in the morning. At night after I wash my face I massage almond oil before my bed time. My skin is very healthy looking. Also I eat lots of veg and fruits with balance diet. I drink plenty of water + take multi vitamins. I’m very happy with this natural ingredients. This gram flour is really made different to my life. All my skin problems were gone far far away. Good luck to everyone.
Wow. Thanks vasanthi for the comment 🙂

Hey apply potato or tomato juice on those patches everyday. Let the juice DRy and wash off. Moisturise.
Also use besan +turmeric mixture to wash off your skin. That helps a bit if done everyday. Hope this helps 🙂

to avoid dull skin, keep removing the oil from your face. It really helps. Carry tissue papers with you.

How can I use besan haldi and milk as a exfoliating scrub? Do I have to leave it to dry and run scrub or can I scrub and wash? I used it as a scrub but did not find it grainy enough to scrub, did i do sumthing wrong? Also can turmeric make skin sunsensitive?
hey. make a paste and apply it on the skin and leave it to dry and then scrub it off in circular motion and wash off. its fine even if you do not find it grainy enough because extra grainy can hurt your skin!! no, turmeric does not make skin photosensitive but it is preferable to use turmeric at night.
How can I use besan as a scrub? Do I have to let it dry first run scrub. I used besan haldi and milk as a scrub but was not grainy enough so not sure if worked as exfoliating face….any other natural scrub ideas

Hi,
I am using facepack , the combination of besan, haldi, honey, rose water but i want to add baking soda also…… Is it safe or there is any reaction of baking soda with that combination. I have gone through your article about baking soda and I really surprised by getting the knowledge of baking soda’s benefit and this inspired me to add baking soda in my regular face pack.
So kindly tel me whether i can add or not……
Thank You.

Hey Swati, I love all you facepacks!
Everyday I use a face & body pack made of 1 teaspoon cucumber pulp, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon curd, and 2 teaspoons of besan. This pack is excellent to remove tan and make skin fair. But I have a dry skin and this pack makes my skin even more dry. Can I add 1 teaspoon of almond oil to this mixture in order to avoid the dryness caused by this pack? Please suggest.

hello! i wanted to know that when i use besan (masoor lentil) and roseater facepack… after 20m mins it becomes very dry. and when i take it off my skin turns reddish instead of turning bright? is it normal? or harmful? should i stop using it for some days?
i want to know that can I wash my face regularly with besan. is it safe because I have a dry skin and after using face wash it becomes more dry.
Hello Swati !!!! Thanx for sharing all these tips.I use besan+green gram flour as my daily soap.It feel comfortable using this.But i have heard daily exfoliation damages your skin and leaves it loose with pores opened.is this true?? i have switched to face wash for few days but i feel my skin remains uncleaned and oily,hence i switched back to besan..i have small pores on my cheeks,which might have caused by besan and i feel my skin has become loose also..what shuld be done for open pores andblack spots of pimples..mine is combination skin

I want to ask that after applying besan for how much time we should avoid exposure to sun
Hi.. I heard that using besan+haldi+milk as a face pack daily reduces facial hair but when I tried this I started having pimples so I stopped it. Can you suggest something else? My skin is dry.
hey 🙂 sorry, missed your comment somehow!!
probably due to milk, you are getting acne so use tomato juice instead. and, follow with a good mositurizer. also, at night, make sure that this besan mix is making your skin absolutely clean otherwise use a face wash instead at night and the besan mix in the morning.
for moisturizer, use any facial oil which suits you. coconut or almond would be my choice. otherwise, try to use the serums like ponds gold radiance. i have no idea how they work though coz i have not used them!!
Hey I have dry skin. Is it safe to apply besan + milk every night instead of a face wash ? Would that have any side effects on my face skin ? Also, do u suggest to add some other ingredient in this mix for dryness ? And I also have pimple marks on my cheeks since 4-5 months. Pimples had never been a problem to me earlier. Can u suggest something for this as well? Will wait for ur reply. 🙂
hey 🙂 yes, it is absolutely safe to apply it at night but make sure that your skin is completely clean by wiping your face with a tissue once afterwards. if there is still some dirt, use it again. another better way is to use it after washing your face with a face wash and using this again in the morning. because, after so much of exposure to pollution and dust, this might not be enough to clean your skin but it totally depends!! so, try it out and check if your skin is clean or not!
and, for dryness, use a good moisturiser. my choice would be any facial oil. otherwise, go for any serum like ponds or lakme, though, i have not tried them!!
for pimple marks, apply tomato slices on the scars, let the juice dry and wash off. do this after your face wash for at least two weeks and your scars would lighten. you can also alternate it with potato slices.
let me know if this works 🙂
Hey thank you so much, will surely try the tomato slice thing out. And is it safe to keep the tomato slice on the marks overnight ?
no do not use anything overnight. once it gets dry, wash and moisturize. and, do not put tomato slice on it. rub the slice so that the juice gets applied on the skin.
Hi Swati. I have a normal skin type. Can i use mixture of besan+moong dal powder+methi powder+haldi with milk cream daily on my face in the evening & a mild face wash in the morning. Pls reply
hey. i would suggest you to do it other way round. use this face pack in the morning and a face wash in the evening because the day long exposure to pollution and dust might not get removed with this alone. you can also do one thing. use the face wash and then again apply this cleanser. and, go with this cleanser in the morning.
hey,I’m new to your blog and it seems so helpful.I have combination skin type with sometimes more dry and sometimes more oily depending on weather,what if i use besan + milk + haldi + lemon juice paste as a face wash once in a day? can i store this paste for some days? or should i replace milk with rose water because of storing it? should i use any sun screen after wash? please help me out or suggest some easily homemade recipe for daily use as face wash..
hi Sana. Welcome 🙂 And, hope you doing well!!
you can use the besan mix both times a day actually but yes if you do go outside in pollution, in the evening you might require a bit more for your face. so, use this mix in the morning. make it fresh everytime you use. you can mix all the dry ingredients and store in a container. mix it with milk and other things when using it. also, try to avoid lemon juice. instead go for tomato juice.
yes, sunscreen is a must in the morning under ANY circumstances. so, please do not skip it.
also, when you feel your skin is dry and oily both, its not actually dry but only dehydrated. please read this post for more clarification:
https://swathyandsky.com/2015/01/dry-dehydrated-moisturized-hydrated-skin-care.html
hope this helps 🙂

hey mam i jst want to ask m using turmeric once or twice in a week to brighten my skintone. so along with this which facewash is good for my face regularly to clean my face during bathing.
Hi ..
my age is 16 (:
When i was born my skin was very fair and extra ordinary white .. but from last 4 years .. the color of my face has become soo dull .. sometimes my face looks bright but i dont know why after 1 month or two my face again become dark :(((( .. overall my body and arm and hands color is fair but my fave is not fair 🙁 And is dull …
plzz tell what i do ?? What i have to use to regain my original complexion ???
Hey Swati,
I heard from many people that Haldi is great for skin but you can’t take bath with soap after applying haldi, as it turns skin darker instead if lightening it…
Is it true……….
One more thing, now a days I have seen 90 % of parlour ladies to advice brides that they should not use haldi on their skin as the makeup would not look good then……… I can’t understand the reason behind this
Can you clear my doubts…………… It would be of great help
Thanks
Nishtha
hi Nishtha, haldi leaves yellow color on the face which is why it is not recommended. you can use it by mixing besan + turmeric in 75-25% proportion to cleanse the skin and once you use this, you do not need soap or anything else to cleanse your skin. otherwise, you can use a face wash before hand and then follow with a besan+turmeric face pack! hope this helps 🙂
Hi Swati,
Thank you so much for your reply. It is of great help 🙂
🙂
hiii… i apply besan mixed with lemon juice n rose water n turmeric at nyt.. i need to know what shall i apply after dat??? any moisturiser or cream is necessary or leave it ?? my skin is oily..
hi Shilpi. after using a face wash, you apply this mask, right? instead of using lemon juice everyday, use tomato or potato juice and keep alternating. after keeping this mask for 45 min, wash it off and apply a moisturiser or facial oil to keep the water from evaporating. since your skin is oily, you need to experiment with different products to find out which suits you. you should only use gel-based or water-based moisturisers. you should definitely check out h2o brand for their marine-based moisturisers. i have heard good reviews of them!!
Hii swati I am totally new to your blogs,BT I really like your suggestions. I just want clean n fair skin.I use besan rose water and massor dal pack for around 3 mnths BT didn’t got fairness n I fear experimenting on my skin as it is tooo much sensitive any cream I can’t apply , n I only believe in natural products .I hardly use any makeup.plzzz I m tired help me to get fair n clear skin.

Yes, it will work and you can apply the mask once a day at nigh after cleansing your face at night.
Hi..i was using clobact gm some days back n my skin was glowing…bt after some days i started getting boils all over my face n neck..i tried homemade remedies bt of no use..i went to md dr n took his medicines bt still hardly any difference..m going treatment with skin specialist since last 1 and half month bt d spots r nt going…plx help me
Hey Soniya. Use potato slices or juice on the scars and boils. It will help calm down the skin. Do it at night after cleansing your face. Also, what cleanser are you using? It also matters a lot! Try using garner pore unclogging face wash and see if it helps you as it has salicylate acid which helps cleanse the skin.
Plz help

hi Soniya, sorry! but, i have no idea about the medicated products you are using so i can not help you. you can also try a home remedy with these products. wash your face at night, apply vinegar as a spot treatment on your breakouts, let it dry for 5 minutes, wash off and then follow with the medication as prescribed. this might help. also, there is no guarantee to any kind of home remedy. how faster it reacts on your skin depends on your skin type. it can take upto a week or two to notice any difference.

Hey!
I wanted to know whether Besan works wonders on pimple marks? Recently I have acquired few black scars on my cheeks due to pimples and i find them really ugly because I have a fair complexion and my skin is spotless excluding those dark pimple marks. I want to get rid of them as soon as possible! Please suggest the best method.
Hi Anaina, sorry for the late reply! You can sue potato juice on the marks every night after cleansing your face. It helps with fading away the scars. The results will be visible in a week of regular usage and it might take a bit of time for them to fade completely.
Hi dear. I really like using besan daily but my mum says that these things should not be used daily as they can cause damage if used dail.:( what you think regarding this?

Hi Swati, i have started using gram flour with turmeric powder and curd as a face pack. I wanted to know how long it would be before a real difference is noticed? is there any harm to using this pack daily?
nope! i have never seen any problem with this mask. but, it is just regular cleanser and will keep your skin in decent condition. it would not change your skin completely!!

never store any juices because they lose their potency and can also breed bacteria!
My face is oily skin once upon a time my skin colour white but some creams used my face is diverted into black colour plz some advices
hi. please use a product which actually suits your skin and are branded so that there is no negative reaction. also, eating good food and drinking enough water helps retaining the complexion.
Hi mam..
This is anusha.i m having dry skin.i dont use any face cream or any chemical products.in this winter season my skin will became black..can I use mixture of green gram flour,orange peel powder and milk for skin whitening…please give me advice.
you should use face creams. there are many organic and natural products in the market. skin becomes black because of dehydration and lack of moisturization. so, you should do both! also, in case you do not want to use face creams, you can use oils. grapeseed, almond, apricot, all such oils are amazing for dry skin.
Should I use almond oil directly to the face?
How to use almond oil or apricot oil to the face
Hi mam,
This is ridhi here. I just wanted to know if I use besan, haldi and lemon on my skin especially on chin and neck area, will it renove facial hair? And also after how long will I see result?
Thanks
hi Ridhi. wish you a very happy new year 🙂
yes, it will remove facial hair but it will take time for the results to show. and, you have to scrub off the besan in the opposite direction once it is dry on your face. use it for a month every single day and you should see results. also you have to keep doing it everyday if you want to keep seeing the results. or, at least keep using it thrice a week!! hope this helps 🙂
is that good to use besan at night?? i m not using sunscreen.. but i use besan at night time.. is it good??
you can use besan anytime but you MUST use sunscreen at any cost.

hi swathi.this is sai.i have been using besan haldi and moong dhall powder for my bath for the past one month.i could see my skin has turned dark over the skin.i can really feel it .shopuld i stop using this combo? or it doesnt render such reaction?
Hey i just found out about your blog and its pretty amazing! And today i again used chickpea flour or besan you call, after 2 years or something. But when i applied it and exfoliate a little bit like i used to do, but after rinsing. There were red marks on my face and itchy red pimples. They were burning so hot so i instantly applied mint water on them to soothe. But this never happened before, why is it happening? Has my skin changed in these 2 years? And the flour is new too, i bought it yesterday. Please help Thankyou.
hi, guess the flour did not suit your face. may be, it was not pure. use organic one from next time if you do!! generally, nothing like this ever happens. worst case is no result. hope your skin is fine now!!
Hai dear Swathi..
I just chanced upon your page & saw all the posts & I must say,i am relieved to know that I am not alone in the battle with using the natural ingredients against the skin problems..& I am happy to be finally answered! So,here is one such query from me too..
Knowing that cleansing, toning & moisturising does a lot of good I stated doing it with curd,rose water & almond oil respectively. Day 1 went really good. I could see the effect on my skin in the morning itself.It was glowing & bright.happy with the result (thrilled, actually) I did it the next day n the curd happened to be a sour one but I could immediately see the effect on my skin,it became dark & dull.. & it still is. This happened previously too when I applied sandal powder pack & once aloevera. 🙁 Now I am really worried about what I should do.should I continue doing this or stop with the new regime I set?.. Pls,plsss help me out.
hi! too much of everything is bad so please do this only twice a week. curd is exfoliating and should not be used on skin everyday.
Thankuu soo much!.. Will do that. What about the regime of cleansing, toning & moisturizing? Isnt that good to do everyday? Or I shud just replace curd?
hi Anusha. yes, you should do the CTM every single day, in fact twice a day – in the morning and evening. once you know your products suit you, use curd once or twice a week and see how it reacts on your skin. btw, do not forget sunscreen. that is important.
Will sure do that without fail..thanx yet again.I prefer not to use company products.so can u suggest a good cleanser out of the kitchen available things? Will milk do?
Thanku soo much,yet again. Will do that without fail..I prefer natural products to company products. So can you suggest good cleanser? Will milk do? If so,then raw milk or boiled milk?..
hi Anusha. milk is fine as long as there are no pimples or breakouts on your skin. it is not recommended for acne-prone skin. you can try this:
https://swathyandsky.com/2016/01/diy-oats-almond-cleanser-for-sensitive-dry-skin.html
but I would suggest a drug store product for cleanser in the evening. wash off your sunscreen with cleansing milk and follow with face wash. i can suggest garnier pore unclogging face wash.
https://swathyandsky.com/2013/07/garnier-pure-active-pore-unclogging-facewash-product-review.html
hope this helps 🙂
:-)… Thankuuu. Will buy a good clenaser then! Thanks for answering it in all way possible, like suggesting both kinds of products.. Mine is a combination skin.not much on the oily side. I am thinking I would buy the Neutrogena cleanser?
Hi mam
i have known about your post recently and im very happy to see that most of all are getting satisfy answers and hope a lot that u will help me in my problem.
my age is twenty and my skin gets dull and dark very soon but my face is always pimples free thank god about it .i never uses any face mask or face creams.but from past few days i was using besan,milk and turmeic face pack for glowing skin and im seeing some pimples and redish thing on my face so please suggest me should i use this or not it will be a big favor mam
Thank you
hi Saria. make sure besan and turmeric you are using are organic and using them once a day is enough. do not overuse. also, avoid milk as it can cause breakouts and pimples. use toners or organic rose water instead or even water is fine!! if the problem still persists, your skin is probably allergic to either ingredients so discontinue the use. hope this helps 🙂
thanks a lot mam 🙂
and is it safe to use NIVEA SPARKING GLOW toner???
If it suits you, it’s fine ?
can I use besan face pack daily on my oily skin. besan,tomato and curd im using or lemon in the place of tomato.

hi Madhavi. doing anything in excess will not help. do this face pack for two nights in a week. it will definitely work 🙂 tomato is great for oily skin!!
