Mukhalepam — Ayurvedic Herbal Facial
Two weeks of high-altitude sun, trail dust and dry mountain air do more to a face than any city pollution. Mukhalepam answers with ground herbs rather than acids: a cleanse with chickpea flour and milk, a facial marma massage that lifts the muscles of expression, and a mask ground fresh for your skin type on the day.

Questions
Mukhalepam Ayurvedic Facial — what people ask
Is an Ayurvedic facial good for acne?
Neem and manjistha lepam help inflammatory, heat-pattern acne. For hormonal or cystic acne we will say honestly that a dermatologist should lead, and treat alongside rather than instead.
Do you use bleach or chemical peels?
Never. Everything applied to your face is a food-grade or classical herbal ingredient.
