Time and again we’ve all heard our mothers and grandmothers rave about the benefits of ‘Besan’. We’ve all been told a lot about how it’s a “super ingredient”, so here are a few quick and easy DIY Besan Face masks for glowing skin!

Deep Cleansing Face Mask

Besan is a great cleanser for Oily skin. It helps to absorb excess oil from the skin and removes impurities.

Mix 2 tablespoons of Besan and Rosewater and make a smooth paste. Apply this paste to your face and neck for 20 minutes. Wash off this mask with water while rubbing your face in an upward circular motion and pat dry your skin.

Skin Clearing Face Mask

Mix up 1 teaspoon of Sandalwood Powder, ½ teaspoon of Turmeric and 1 teaspoon of Besan. Add a teaspoon of Milk and make a smooth paste. Apply this blend to your face for 15 minutes and rinse it off with cool water. Sandalwood and Besan are known to dry out pimples and promote shedding of dead skin cells.

Deep Nourishing Face Mask

Add 2 teaspoons of Besan and a pinch of Turmeric to 1 teaspoon of Honey and Malai. Mix well into a smooth, lump free paste. Apply this paste to your face for 10 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water. While Besan gently exfoliates the skin, Malai acts as a natural moisturizing agent.

Tan Removal Face Mask

Mix 1 tablespoon Besan with 1 teaspoon of Curd into a thick paste. Add 4-5 drops of Lemon Juice to this mix along with 1 tablespoon of grated Cucumber and Tomato. If your skin is on the drier side you may replace the Curd with some Milk or Malai. This mask gently reverses sun damage and gives your skin a radiant look.

Below are the general benefis of using Besan in your facemasks!
