Fortunately for me, I inherited the formulas (sans the struggles) and love to pass on my favorite Ayurvedic family recipes. To treat oil-prone skin, mix 2 tablespoons of clay or sandalwood powder, ½ teaspoon of organic turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon of dry oats, a few drops of honey (or water for a vegan option)—and mix it with water. Apply this evenly over the face for 15 minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water. Use this mask daily until the acne subsides, then switch to weekly applications to keep blemishes from coming back! Of note: only apply turmeric in small amounts to avoid imparting a yellowish tint on skin. Uma is Holecek’s foray into introducing the most authentic, straight-from-the-source Ayurveda and aromatherapy practices and solutions to the discerning consumer, in a luxurious, easy-to-use, and education-focused manner.
