Ubtan, a traditional herbal mixture in Indian culture, has gained popularity as a potential skin-brightening solution. However, its primary properties are effective exfoliation and detanning rather than complexion alteration. With ingredients like turmeric, gram flour, and sandalwood, Ubtan works by removing dead skin cells and reducing the effects of environmental factors like sun exposure, leading to a smoother, more even skin tone. However, it doesn’t change the skin’s melanin levels or permanently lighten complexion. While Ubtan can contribute to overall skin health, improving skin brightness generally requires professional treatments and a balanced lifestyle.
