Key Questions Answered
To make traditional utane at home, you need two large spoons of gram flour, half a small spoon of turmeric, one large spoon of sandalwood powder, one small spoon of almond powder, one small spoon of honey, two to three strands of saffron, one large spoon of rose water, and raw milk, which are mixed together into a thick paste.
If your skin is very oily, you should use water instead of milk when making the homemade utane. Using milk on oily skin can make it feel even stickier or oilier and increase the risk of pimples.
Before applying utane, clean your face with a mild face wash. Apply the paste evenly across your face and neck, leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes until it begins to dry, and then gently massage in circular motions with slightly wet hands.
