Hey All!
Taking care of skin is a continuous process. It never gets ended. It is only then the skin keeps getting what it wants to stay health and glowy. When it comes to natural ingredients that are readily available for skin care routine, then it becomes the most efficient one.
It is a well known fact that ragi has lot of skin benefits. It is believed to keep the entire body cool. Ragi in your diet also helps a lot for a healthy supple skin. Most importantly it is our belief and interest in these natural ingredients that helps us attain what we are craving for.
Ragi has high iron contents; I have been hearing this from the time I have known Ragi.
The whole ragi seeds even when soaked for infinite time do not become soft. It stays stiff as it is. The stiffness in ragi seeds makes them excellent scrub particles. If ragi is powdered, then when it is mixed well with a liquid
For face this whole ragi scrub might feel a little harsh. So it is better to as little as possible for face scrubbing. For feet and body the whole ragi seeds are the perfect one.

Ragi Seed Scrub for Feet and Body:
Take 3 spoon of curd, and 3 spoons full of ragi seeds mix well. If you feel you need more curd, then add more until you are satisfied.
Before bath, rub this ragi and curd mixture on your skin continuously for about 5 minutes. Especially under arms area, behind the knee joint, sole of the feet, neck, corners behind the ears, all these areas needs extra care and cleansing. Ragi provides the cleansing scrub and curds provide the care and nourishment.
Ragi Flour Pack for Face:
When ragi seeds are powdered finely it forms the ragi flour. The fine particles of ragi flour forms a very good face pack agent.
Take about 2 spoons of ragi flour. Add about 3 spoons of milk and mix well. The flour softens and turns into a soft paste. Allow the setting for about half an hour before using.
Apply a thin layer of this pack on the face. Preferably, scrub the face using little whole ragi seeds and curds for about 2 minutes before using the pack.
Scrub and face pack when used one after the other gives a better result for facial skin.
So, how did you like this simple mixing procedure of ragi facial. Do try this out.?
wow…i dint know ragi could be used like this…nice post chand:)
Thanks Dharu. Glad u like it :)
wonderful idea.. will try this soon!!
def harini..u got to try atleast once.
Great post Chand. Will be trying this out soon.
thanks dear. :)
Chand, are they poppy seeds? Nice diy!
hey poppy seeds means khus-khus… This is ragi here..
can we use ragi flour with water??since i have oily skin,milk will make my skin more oilier na
use curd instead shahnaaz:) or simple use rose water
hey.. ya. water or rose water, any liquid base of your convenience.
but curd also not good for oily skin na dharu even rose water :)
no shahnaaz both are really good. the lactic acid in curd helps a lot. make sure you remove that top cheesy layer and use it:)…use the reply button to reply instead of individual dear:)
ok da :) but wenever i use curd the very next day i get acne..so thought curd is not for oily acne prone skin :)
you must have used along with the layer. if you still have doubt dont try. use venegar if you can find. also lime juice is best:)
Even i find curd or milk unsuitable for oily skin Shanaaz.. Each person’s skin differs.. U can try lemon juice or even milder one which is rose water like dharu has suggested :)
Really a very different scrub :)
yes venetha i even find rosewater unsuitable for my skin type…i should use water..coz that is the only one option left out ;)
and one more thing ragi is quite moisturising dear. so better opt for gram flour :)
and one more doubt dharu can i use cardamom as spot treatment for acne scars??
i don’t know about that dear:) also honey mixed with lemon is an excellent remedy for acne scars:) pure turmeric mixed with curd also works really well
Thanks vineetha. :)
