5 Things that are just Magical for Skin Glow✨

Five Traditional Skincare Ingredients

The Fit Tuber video presents five inexpensive ingredients commonly used in India for skincare:

1. Multani mitti (fuller’s earth): Mix a spoonful with water and use it as a face wash. The presenter says it removes oil and dirt, leaves skin feeling fresh, and may suit oily or acne-prone skin. It can also feel cooling.

2. Phitkari (alum): Wet the stone and rub it on the skin as a deodorant. The video also suggests using it after shaving to help with minor cuts and irritation.

3. Almond oil: Apply a small amount to the face after bathing as a light moisturiser. The presenter highlights its vitamin E and other potential skin benefits, and suggests using less if your skin is oily.

4. Neem leaves: The suggested routine is to chew four or five fresh leaves, even once a week. The video describes neem as a “blood purifier” that may help with acne and other skin concerns.

5. Besan (chickpea flour): Make a mask with besan, a little turmeric, and curd. Apply gently, leave it on for at least 10 minutes, then scrub it off and rinse. The presenter also recommends using it as a body wash or weekly exfoliant. For tanning, he suggests using it for four to five consecutive days.

The video argues that these ingredients can replace more expensive skincare products. Its claims about “purifying” blood, preventing skin problems, and other medical effects are the presenter’s claims, not established medical advice. Patch-test topical ingredients and stop using them if irritation occurs.

Rosemary Oil for Hair

The closing segment promotes rosemary essential oil. The presenter recommends diluting three or four drops in hair oil, never applying it directly to the scalp, and leaving it on overnight. He suggests using it daily or at least three times a week. The segment features Mamaearth Rosemary Essential Oil.
