From AM to PM skincare rituals, we’re constantly on the search for products that make our skin look and feel good. But in this pursuit, we often neglect the care our body requires. With winter around the corner, now is the right time to start paying attention to your body care rituals, to ensure your skin stays nourished and supple through the dryer winter months.
These days, people have started adopting chemically infused procedures and modern-day treatments for quick fixes to their skin woes. We, at Forest Essentials, believe that Ayurveda offers a repertoire of natural remedies to treat every skin concern.
Back in the day, after a rejuvenating body massage, a concoction of herbal powders was applied on the body as a natural cleanser to remove the excess oil while gently removing dead skin cells. This unique body massage, also known as Udvartana, was performed with firm hand strokes in circular motion against the orientation of the body hair. These herbal powders are today more commonly known as Body Ubtans.
What Do Body Ubtans Do?
We all know how important it is to cleanse your skin. Be it your face or your body, the techniques for both differ. This is why we have launched our very own sulphate free Body Ubtans, specially curated to take care of your body care requirements.
The Forest Essentials Body Ubtan Rose Petal, Vetiver and Sandalwood has been formulated using key ingredients like Sandalwood, Pistachio and Vetiver that collectively have toning, purifying and detoxifying qualities which also prevent premature signs of aging. This efficacious infusion of ingredients also helps to clarify blemished skin. The Body Ubtan Turmeric, Orange Peel and Sweet Basil contains a medley of sun dried and hand pounded fresh herbs, seeds, nuts and seasonal fruits that promote purity and act as a remedy for skin pigmentation. Furthermore, the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components revive your skin by bringing out its natural glow. Traditionally, Udvartana was practiced to detoxify and exfoliate dry skin, unclog pores, and improve blood flow underneath the skin to reveal radiant and clear skin.
Create A Rejuvenating Body Care Ritual
In Ayurveda, the dried herbs used in its preparation are renowned to balance Doshas by providing stability to the body and naturally reduce the appearance of cellulite by breaking up fat deposits. Dead skin cells can often pile up into a thick layer that cause the skin to appear ashy and dull, and the over-accumulation of the same can also lead to acne, clogged pores and hence, premature signs of aging.
To personalize your body care ritual, we suggest massaging the body with the Forest Essentials Body Massage Oil Desi Gulab & Oudh, followed by the Forest Essentials Body Ubtan Rose Petal, Vetiver and Sandalwood. This would help in deep cleansing and removing the dead skin cells and dirt with friction along with rejuvenating the skin to reveal its radiant complexion. Alternatively, we recommend pairing the Body Massage Oil Khubai and Ginger with Body Ubtan Turmeric, Orange Peel and Sweet Basil by Forest Essentials to nourish, soften and cleanse the skin.
How To Optimally Use Body Ubtans
While the Forest Essentials Body Ubtans can be used as cleansers and exfoliators by themselves, we recommend using them as above, to cleanse the body post a rejuvenating and relaxing body massage. Empty the contents of the package in a bowl and mix it with warm water or yogurt until you get a smooth paste. Apply the Body Ubtan on wet skin and lightly massage all over, paying special attention to elbows and knees. Leave until semi-dry, followed by a massage to smoothen and refine the skin texture. Rinse well. Pat dry.
