There are a lot of rituals without which, a traditional Indian wedding is incomplete. And, one such ritual is the haldi ceremony. In this ceremony, the bride-to-be is anointed with ubtan, a face pack made of various natural ingredients.
The ubtan helps the bride to flaunt a radiantly glowing skin on her wedding, as it removes the tan and brightens her complexion.

Using this ubtan regularly will give you a baby soft and smooth skin by your wedding day.
