One of the wonderful ancient Indian ways of improving your skin complexion is, usage of "Ubtan". It is a mixture of sandalwood, turmeric, rose etc., it is been applied by brides in India, at the time of wedding. It gives glow to the skin and also helps in lightning the skin complexion.It is so important and effective that a separate ceremony is arranged to apply it, just as a ritual.

Yeah it does make skin glow and look healthy.

But I personally think the tittle " fair complexion" is racist.

Hi Jessika! May I please know whether this product is available in the international markets? Or what are other brands producing the same results and having the same or similar ingredients? thanks

i heard kojic acid could produce great results too...it was discovered in japan and is now being used to make soaps. it could lighten skin in just a few days. other ingredients used vary from one manufacturer to another.

Could you tell me about "ubtan"?is it a natural product? where can i get it?

Ubtan is made from a mixture of:

Wheat flour, mustard oil, turmeric, sandlewood or rosewater.

Regarding the quantity, you can use one small bowl of flour, tea spoon of turmeric and half a teaspoon of rosewater (for fragrance) and oil in order to allow the mixture to be mixed well enough. You don't want the mixture to be too hard or liquidity, enough to be able to apply on the skin.

Sounds interesting. I like to use that one also. Is it suitable for all skin types?

It would be good to know which brands are marketed in the US and where I can get them.mg

looks like a homemade concoction as described a few posts above.

I didnt know about that. But i think its effective and will try it

Drink tomato juice daily
it wil surely help

Well its common sense really all the products required of the product have been mentioned, and it includes things like flour, turmeric, oil these are basic things and wont blow you pocket!!!!!

I want to try this! I hope I can get my hands on these ingredients. It seems kinda rare on my part of the world lol! Anyone here tried it yet?

Is this a technique that will work for those who don't have fair skin because I don't have fair skin at all. And I agree, Busy Bee, "fair complexion" does sound a little racist.

Now you can many skin care creams to glow your complexion. Before trying any new skin creams first apply little to the hand portion. If doesn't create any any allergy you continue to use. Sandal wood cream is the best to improve your skin color.
