Which flour is best for pigmentation?

Gram flour, also known as Besan, is considered best for addressing skin pigmentation.

Gram Flour (Besan) for Pigmentation: Why it Works

Gram flour possesses properties that make it effective in lightening skin tone and reducing pigmentation. Specifically, it's often combined with other ingredients to create effective face masks.

• Exfoliation: Gram flour acts as a gentle exfoliator, helping to remove dead skin cells that contribute to a dull complexion and hyperpigmentation.
• Skin Brightening: Regular use can lead to a brighter and more even skin tone.
• Tan Removal: It's known to help reduce sun tan and dark spots.

How to Use Gram Flour for Pigmentation

Here's a popular recipe for a gram flour face mask:

• Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons Gram flour (Besan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons Yogurt (or raw milk, or water)

• Instructions:

  1. Mix all ingredients into a smooth paste.
  2. Apply evenly to the face and neck.
  3. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, or until dry.
  4. Rinse off with lukewarm water, gently massaging in circular motions.
  5. Pat dry and moisturize.

Other Considerations

While gram flour is a popular choice, remember that skin types vary. Always do a patch test before applying any new mask to your entire face. Consistency is key for seeing results. Also, turmeric is a well known ingredient that helps to improve the effectiveness of gram flour.
