Traditional Preparation Methods
The Water Paste
Standard Method
Best for
Oily skin and red, inflamed pimples
How to use
Mix equal parts of the powder with plain water or pure rose water to make a smooth, thick paste. Apply evenly over your face, avoiding the eyes. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes until it begins to dry and flake, then rinse gently with lukewarm water.
The Milk Paste
Nourishing Method
Best for
Dry skin, sensitive skin, and fading dark acne scars
How to use
Mix the powder with raw cow's milk or coconut milk instead of water. The fats in the milk prevent the potent herbs from over-drying your skin while providing deep hydration.
The Honey Spot Treatment
Targeted Method
Best for
Stubborn, painful jawline pimples and cystic acne
How to use
Mix a small teaspoon of the powder with a few drops of raw honey and a splash of rose water. Apply this thick mixture directly onto individual pimples as a spot treatment overnight or for 20 minutes before rinsing.
Herbal Facial Steam Polish
Deep Cleansing Method
Best for
Blackheads, whiteheads, and severely clogged pores
How to use
Boil water in a pot and add a half-spoon of the powder to the boiling water. Lean over the pot with a towel over your head to trap the steam for 3 to 5 minutes. Follow up immediately by applying the cool water paste version of the mask.
Important Application Rules
Never let a Lepa dry completely: Wash the paste off when it is about 70% dry (when it feels sticky but starts cracking). Letting a herbal paste dry completely into a hard crust can strip the skin's moisture barrier and cause irritation.
Avoid night application: Unless used strictly as a minor spot treatment, classical Ayurveda advises against keeping full-face Lepas on overnight, as it can disturb the skin's natural heat balance.
