Beauty rituals and Ayurveda go hand in hand in India. Growing up, all of us have been made to try natural remedies for healthy skin such as besan (chickpea flour), multani mitti, dried flower petals, neem leaves and many more.

While we would like to try variations of home-made facepacks, often options might be limited due to seasonal ingredients and lack of know-how to combine ingredients. Ayurvedic practitioner Dr Aparna Padmanabhan shared a list of simple, ayurvedic and gut-friendly face packs which can be made in a short time and in a few simple steps.
