"The city gives you a great life.
It also gives your skin a great burden."

Pollution. Dust. UV stress. The invisible residue of commuting, screen-time, and urban air — your skin absorbs it all. Most skincare fights symptoms. This ritual addresses the source.

Two days. Six steps. A simple herbal rhythm rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom, designed for the skin that never truly disconnects from the city.

01
Day One · Sunday Evening

Detox &
De-Tan

Release pollution. Reset skin.

Day one is an act of release. You are not adding; you are undoing — lifting the week's accumulation from your pores and giving your skin permission to breathe again.

1
Step 01

Cleanse

Begin with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanse to lift surface-level impurities. Lukewarm water, slow circular motions. This is not aggressive cleansing — it is preparation.

2
Step 02 · Featured Product

City-Detox Ubtan

Apply to damp skin in gentle upward strokes. The herbal blend draws out deep-seated pollutants while the de-tanning actives lift sun-induced pigmentation without stripping.

⏱ 8–10 minutes

Rinse with cool water. Pat dry with a soft cloth.

3
Step 03 · Clay Therapy

The Clay Layer

For deeper pore care, mix Multani Mitti, Kaolin Clay, and Rose Petal Powder with rose water. Apply in a thin, even layer. Let the minerals do their work.

⏱ 8–12 minutes

Do not over-dry. Rinse while still slightly damp.

City-Detox
Ubtan

Day 1 Hero · Detox + De-Tan

Formulated for skin that faces urban stress daily, this ubtan draws on traditional herbal wisdom — turmeric, neem, and sandalwood — combined with gentle de-tanning actives. It purifies without stripping, de-tans without bleaching, and resets your skin's baseline before the weekend begins.

The Three Clays

This is not a product — it's a practice. Multani Mitti draws excess oil and tightens pores. Kaolin gently exfoliates and clears debris without irritation. Rose Petal Powder softens and soothes the inflammation left by sun and pollution exposure.

Mix with raw rose water until you reach a spreadable paste. Apply to your face and neck in a single, even layer with clean fingertips.

Do not wait until the pack is fully dry. Rinse while still slightly damp — this is the moment of optimal efficacy, before it begins to pull moisture from the skin itself.

"The city takes from your skin every day.
Give it back twice a week."

Day Two · Wednesday Morning

Repair &
Correct

Refine tone. Restore clarity.

Day two is an act of restoration. Where day one removed, day two rebuilds — refining uneven tone, fading the marks left by stress and sun, and returning luminosity that the city quietly steals.

1
Step 01

Gentle Cleanse

Begin fresh. A mild cleanse on day two prepares the skin's surface to receive the corrective actives that follow. Keep it short — your skin doesn't need stripping again so soon.

2
Step 02 · Featured Product

Spot Correct Ubtan

Apply to clean skin using fingertips in gentle upward strokes. Licorice root (Mulethi) works to interrupt melanin production and fade existing pigmentation without aggression.

⏱ 10–15 minutes
3
Step 03

Tone & Seal

Pat dry. Follow with a light hydrating moisturizer that locks in the corrective work. During the day, apply SPF — the corrective actives and sun protection work in partnership, not in opposition.

At night, your skin doesn't need SPF — it needs space. Let it breathe.
