Who says you can do the haldi besan thing only when you get married?! I was bored yesterday…..and we were planning to go out in the evening to watch Bhag Milkha Bhag (which didn’t happen) but all I wanted w as an excuse to wear a face mask. But I wonder if this pre-wedding ubtan does anything for the Indian brides. I remember my bua whispering into my cousin’s ears on her haldi ceremony “jaldi se jaa ke dho lena warna wo diamond facial kharab ho jaega
Also some people argue that the turmeric in it stains their face and make them look too yellow. Well as a little girl I was once preparing this same mask and thought to myself that..if the haldi makes brides glow then I will use thrice the amount and glow three times…khikhi..
People keep the haldi to just a pinch or two, not more than that. But since this wasn’t a haldi ceremony I skipped a lot of ingredients and thus I’m presenting you my not-so-heavy-duty haldi besan ubtan.
Home Made Haldi Ubtan Steps:
1. Take 2tbsp gram flour (besan). Go more f you have a gigantic face.
2. Add just a pinch oh haldi. Keep the ratio of haldi to besan as 2:6.
3. Add 4tbsp rose water. Brides use milk but it makes my face oily.
4. Mix everything and your DIY Ubtan is ready!
Now apply a thick layer on your face and watch yet one more episode of Friends (I’m on season 5 btw) but only if you can keep a straight face when Joey says “how you doinnn!”. Wash off after 15-20 mins and voila you just spoiled your expensive spa facial..just kidding!

i am sure u do
This is so easy-peasy. I used to think that ubtan has hundreds of ingredients :-D
Will try super soon. Thanks for the DIY :)
they do..like sandalwood, kesar..etc etc but they are optional
This is my fav at-home face wash. Cleans skin really well :)
and removes tan too
This was SO helpful.And you're right.. anyone besides the bride can do it too ;) :)
totally..I have been using it since childhood!
This is a good tried and tested "recipe". Only thing one has to be careful about is the turmeric as you have pointed out. I think all of us have at least once ended with a yellow face thanks to extra haldi! Glad you brought out this old "gharelu nuskha".
Extra turmeric comes back to "pinch" you ;)
Extremely useful stuff for to-be-brides... for dry skin, perhaps even some honey may be useful. You are absolutely right about the haldi, it needs to be used in just the right quantity else it makes you too yellow.
Extremely useful :) Thanks a lot :)
it wazz an awesome and effective home made "UBTAN " i luvv it <3 and thanxx to u :) Anshita luvv u babes
