Powranikam Golden Glow Face Pack Recipes

The Ultimate Golden Glow Face Pack:
Ingredients:
1 tsp – Kasthuri Manjal powder ( The real one, the yellow powder available in the market is not a kasthui majal powder, the real kasthuri manjal powder is cream color)
2 tsp – Gram flour (Kadala Maavu)
1 tsp – Unboiled milk

Mix all the three ingredients to form a thick paste. Apply evenly on your cleansed face and neck. Let it dry for 15 minutes or until you get a stretchy feeling. Then wet it with water and start massaging in the areas where you want to remove your unwanted facial hair. Massage for 2 minutes and wash your face completely. Enjoy the instant radiance in your face. It doesn’t make your face yellow, if washed properly. I am using this pack as a body scrub everyday, works 100 times better than a normal soap. My skin is never too dry and my skin allergy marks are fading out slowly.

You can also skip the gram flour in this pack.
If you have an oily skin, replace milk with yogurt.

My tiny golden facial hair after bleaching is less visible now. 🙂
Try this pack at home and save on your expensive parlor treatments!!
