Mukha Lepam – Ayurvedic Herbal Face Pack for Radiant Skin

Mukha Lepam (also called Mukh Lepam or Ayurvedic face pack) is a traditional herbal facial therapy designed to cleanse, nourish, and revitalize the skin. In this gentle treatment, a fresh paste of medicinal herbs (such as turmeric, sandalwood, aloe vera, or rose) is applied to the entire face. The custom-made herbal mask deeply purifies the skin, exfoliates dead cells, balances natural oils, and improves overall complexion.

At Yuvrit Ayurveda (HSR Layout, Bangalore), our Mukha Lepam sessions use organic, dosha-specific ingredients to target concerns like acne, pigmentation, and early aging, resulting in clearer, glowing skin.

Who can benefit from Mukha Lepam

Mukha Lepam is ideal for individuals looking to improve their skin’s health and appearance. Below are the common skin issues this natural face pack helps address:

Acne, pimples, and blackheads – The herbal mask purifies the skin and clears clogged pores, making it a powerful natural treatment for breakouts and acne scars.
Oily or excessively dry skin – Balances sebum production and hydrates the skin using soothing herbal ingredients, helping normalize oily or dry skin.
Pigmentation and dark spots – Brightening herbs in the paste help lighten hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and uneven skin tone for a more uniform complexion.
Dull, tired-looking skin – Revives the skin’s natural glow by exfoliating dead cells and boosting circulation, restoring radiance and freshness to lackluster skin.
Sun damage and redness – Soothes inflammation and repairs sun-exposed or heat-irritated skin with cooling Ayurvedic herbs.
Early signs of aging (fine lines & wrinkles) – Nourishes and rejuvenates skin tissues, improving elasticity and delaying premature aging.

How Mukha Lepam Is Done?

Mukha Lepam is performed in three main steps to ensure a relaxing and effective facial treatment:

Preparation Stage

Your skin is first gently cleansed with a mild herbal wash or gentle steam to open pores. This step may include a light massage with warm medicated oil to prep the skin. Meanwhile, our therapist customizes a fresh herbal paste based on your dosha (body type) and specific skin concerns.

Main Procedure

The prepared paste is evenly applied all over your face (and sometimes neck). It is left on for about 20–30 minutes to allow the botanicals to penetrate deeply. During this time, you can relax on the therapy table or enjoy a gentle steam to enhance absorption.

Post-Therapy Care & Recovery

Once the paste has dried, the therapist gently wipes or washes it off with lukewarm water. The skin is then pampered with a soothing herbal toner or light moisturizing oil suited to your dosha. You’ll be advised to avoid direct sun exposure for a few hours afterward.

Mukha Lepam benefits

Mukha Lepam provides holistic benefits for both the health and appearance of your skin. Key benefits of this Ayurvedic face pack include:

Deep cleansing & detoxification – Removes dirt, excess oil, and toxins from the skin’s surface and pores, promoting a clearer complexion.
Natural exfoliation & glow – Gently exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing smoother skin and enhancing natural radiance.
Anti-acne and anti-inflammatory effects – The herbal ingredients have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helping calm acne, pimples, and redness.
Hydration and nourishment – Restores moisture balance with hydrating herbs, which softens dry patches and maintains supple skin.
Anti-aging and elasticity – Nourishes the skin tissues to improve elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and early wrinkles over time.

Who should Avoid Mukha Lepam (Contraindications)

While Mukha Lepam is generally safe for most skin types, it should be avoided or used with caution under these conditions:

Active skin infections or open wounds – Applying a mask on infected areas or open cuts can cause irritation or delay healing.
Severe allergic skin conditions – If you have acute eczema, dermatitis, or known herbal sensitivities, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner first.
Very dry, cracked, or extremely sensitive skin – In cases of severe dryness or fissures, the natural astringency of some pastes may cause discomfort.
During menstruation (for some women) – Sensitive individuals may experience extra facial sensitivity; our therapists can advise whether to proceed or reschedule
