manjal

dear

manjal we all know is a very good antiseptic agent. It removes the hair. All the village women will never have hair in their face, arms and legs. They use fresh manjal a lot while taking bath and glow yellow. For children we mix kasthoori manjal powder with bason or green gram powder and will apply over the skin. But before that you have to apply a lots of oil since manjal will leave the skin dry.

the drawbacks are you will look yellow totally, all your inners will get the color, over use may leave the skin dry.
