When I was younger my mom would make a paste base for me and would tell me to put it on my entire body as it would exfoliate my skin. I finally found out what her secret was. It was called- Uptan.
Uptan is as follows:
whole wheat flour
sugar cane (sugar crystals)
turmeric
milk ( or you can use rose water)
sandlewood powder
(Many people have different ways of mixing the paste together, but the main ingredients needed are turmeric, sandalwood powder, milk or rose water)
In Indian weddings, it is common for the groom and bride to have a separate Uptan ceremony. It is said that Uptan cleanses the body and soul. It leaves the skin feeling cool and fresh.

But you can get Uptan powder at the stores right? We just pour in water in it? And thats it?
ReplyDeleteYes you should be able too. But I find this stuff to work better and is healthier because most of the other products carry fragrances or contain bleach which I am not a fan of.
