India has got a great culture. We have different traditions for different festivals throughout the year. These traditions have their own values to keep the mankind healthy by keeping a perfect balance of nature and our body. The biggest of all festivals is Diwali, which comes at the starting of winter period after October heat. Diwali is incomplete without “Abhyanga Snana”. Application of Abhyanga oil followed by Ayurvedic herbal aromatic Ubtan is called as Abhyanga Snana.

Application of ubtan followed by Abhyanga oil removes dead cells from skin, prevents acne, pimples as it cleans the skin at deeper levels. It makes skin soft, supple and nourished. It improves blood circulation and removes tan and pigmentation.

How the Abhyanga Snana should be done?

Make the abhyanga oil lukewarm. Then apply it all over the body including face in the direction towards heart. If you are applying on a leg, then start from toes towards thigh. Massage lightly, so that oil should get absorbed through skin. Soak the ubtan powder in milk or water or rose water according to skin type (for dry skin in milk, for oily skin in water, for sensitive skin in rose water). It should be like a thick paste. Apply the ubtan same like oil against the direction of body hair with gentle scrubbing all over body. Then have a bath with warm water without any soap or body wash.
Soft, glowing, even toned skin with pleasant fragrance after bath makes us feel fresh and energetic. Improve your skin texture, prevent premature aging. Look fresh and youthful!
