Ingredients
- 1 cup masoor dal
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 10 to 20 strands saffron
- 1 tsp sandalwood powder
Directions
- Place the masoor dal, turmeric, saffron, and sandalwood powder in a blender. Blend until the mixture becomes a fine powder, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Place a spoonful of the powder in a small bowl and mix it with a bit of water to create a paste. Spread the paste onto your face and keep it there for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it dries up and tightens your facial muscles.
- Rinse the facemask off with cool water, ideally in the shower.
