About this piece
Chandan Varnya Lepa is a creamy face masque. A lepa is the Ayurvedic word for a paste applied to the skin and left on for a while before it is rinsed off.
The seller lists sandalwood paste, saffron and kokum butter as the main ingredients, blended with steam distilled rosewater, nagkesar herb extract and wheat germ oil. It comes in a dark glass jar with a black lid and a red label.
How it is used
A lepa is spread over the face, left on for the time given on the label and then rinsed off. Check the jar for the directions and the time. Keep it away from the eyes.
