how to use chandan powder on face - #24360
I am really struggling with my skin right now, and I heard chandan powder can do wonders! My friend swears by it, saying it helps with all sorts of skin issues. I've got pretty dry skin lately, and sometimes a few redness patches just pop up—super annoying! I tried using some random creams from the drugstore, but they just irritate my skin even more. I read somewhere that chandan powder can be really good for moisturizing and calming the skin, but I'm honestly not sure how to use chandan powder on face the right way. Do I mix it with water, or should it be with something like honey or yogurt? How often can I apply it? Also, like, will I have any reactions? I’m a bit paranoid since I naturally have sensitive skin. Anyone tried it? What worked for you? I could really use some clear guidance on how to use chandan powder on face without making things worse. Appreciate any tips!

Chandan powder, known as sandalwood powder, is often cherished in Ayurveda for its cooling, soothing, and nourishing qualities, especially helpful for pitta-related skin imbalances like redness and irritation. Using it on your skin can be beneficial, particularly for calming and moisturizing dry or sensitive skin, but it’s essential to approach it thoughtfully, given your sensitivity concerns.
To make a simple and effective chandan face pack for your skin type, you can start by mixing chandan powder with a base that pairs well with your skin’s needs. For dry and sensitive skin, blending chandan powder with a bit of honey is a great idea, because honey not only moisturizes but also soothes irritation.
Here’s how you can prepare it: take about 1 tablespoon of chandan powder and mix it with enough honey to form a smooth, spreadable paste. If honey doesn’t suit, yogurt is another alternative, which helps moisturize and gently exfoliate due to its lactic acid.
Apply this mixture evenly to your face, avoiding the eye area, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. After that time, gently rinse it off with lukewarm water. Make sure you pat your skin dry softly with a clean towel.
In terms of frequency, starting with application once a week allows you to observe how your skin reacts. If there’s no sign of irritation, you can gradually increase to twice a week.
Given your sensitive skin, always conduct a patch test first. Apply a small amount of the paste to a discreet area like the inside of your wrist or behind your ear, waiting 24 hours to watch for adverse reactions.
Additionally, maintaining a routine that keeps your skin hydrated and protected from harsh environmental factors will complement your chandan treatment. Drink sufficient water, prefer a gentle cleanser, and avoid hot showers which can further dry and irritate the skin.
If you notice any consistent irritation or worsening of symptoms, it’s crucial to cease use and consult with a dermatologist or an Ayurvedic practitioner to reassess your approach. While chandan can be wonderfully beneficial, individual skin responses can vary.
