1. Balances pH Levels

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the parameter ‘skin pH’ depends mainly on the area of skin and age, but it also depends to a lesser extent on sex, race and the time of day when values are determined. The alkalizing properties of gram flour make it a perfect remedy for balancing the skin's pH levels.

2. Removes Dirt

When applied topically, and used as a cleanser or exfoliator, besan helps clean the skin by removing excess dirt, bacteria and residue over the skin layer. When you exfoliate your skin with besan gently, it clears the clogged pores, and dead skin cells from over the skin.
