A. the tanning will go away by time.. Massage well with any suitable pure natural oil on daily basis. Keep your baby’s skin moisturized with a good mild body lotion

A. Ubtan is a mix of natural and herbal ingredients. It is used as a skin cleanser and homemade body scrub for babies as well as adults. Ubtan is often used as a substitute for store-bought soaps. It comprises mainly three ingredients – ground lentils and flour, herb powder, and milk or rose water to form a paste. Adults use it as a natural face mask to get clear and smooth skin. Ubtan is traditionally used to massage newborns during bath time.
