How to use nalangu maavu herbal bath powder?

Before using this powder please do a Patch Test to make sure the ingredients are not causing any allergy to your skin. Allergy to the product is rare but better be safe than sorry.

To use as a daily bath powder:

Take the required amount of nalangu maavu and mix some water in it to make a paste. Apply it all over the body and leave for 5 minutes and then rinse it off with water. Or you can even use it as a dry scrub by simply scrubbing the skin with nalangu maavu and then washing it off with water.

To use it as a face wash:

Make a paste of nalangu maavu with water. But if you have dry skin you can add curd or milk fat for better results. For normal skin water or curd or honey can be added.

Do try this herbal bath powder and treat your skin the way it deserves.

For your kind information:

If you are allergic to any of the ingredients you can avoid it while preparing nalangu maavu.
Try to make it during summer, as it will ensure thorough drying of the ingredients. If you powder it using a mixer at home make sure the jar is washed well and dried completely as it shouldn’t have even a tinge of spiciness and moisture. Spiciness can irritate the skin and moisture can spoil the powder.
I usually prepare nalangu maavu in large quantity and store it in airtight containers and use it for a year.

For Daily Use:

You can make a huge batch of this herbal powder and store it for up to a year. You can transfer a small quantity of it to a container /bottle for daily use and keep the rest airtight in another container.
