    Recently came across this WholeGreenGram powder in an organic store and heard my grandma saying it is widely used for bathing instead of soap in those days. I thought of giving it a try as my face is highly tanned and uneven. Please do give some tips and benefits of using it replacing soap in my daily routine. It is said at the back of the powder pack as it can be used for whole of the body. Should i apply and let it dry or just apply and wash it off? Advice me ladies :)

    It is more effective when you have an oil bath.
    You can apply this paste to the face when you have bath,let it stay like a pack till you finish bathing the body and wash it off.Just apply and wash it off.

    You can also use Bengal gram dal powder[Kadalai maavu] for the same.Both has the same effect.Removes the tan eventually and makes the body shine.

    Bengal gram generally makes the skin dry. So if possible mix the powder with milk and then apply. Milk will also help brighten the face.

    green gram for bath is good, but first apply oil to body then mix green gram powder with milk or water and apply , rub and rinse with water, you feel your skin is soft. and it removes dead skin.

    I use green gram not whole green gram as it will be rough on skin ( i do it in mixer). I also use just green gram dal powder to wash my son hair, he is 3 year old, i am using this for him from 4 months age.
