What Are Traditional Herbal Face Packs?
Traditional herbal face packs are preparations made by mixing finely ground botanical powders with natural liquid bases — such as rose water, milk, yoghurt, or plain water — and applying them to the face as a mask. These preparations have been used in Kerala and across South India for centuries as part of daily and ritual skincare routines.
At Blueberry Botanicals, we source these ingredients with care and pack them hygienically for safe home use across India.
