Tips

• You may have to grind and sieve red lentils a few times to get a fine powder. If you want the mixture to be less coarse, soak the lentils in water for a few hours before grinding them.
• Store the remaining powdered red lentils in an airtight container.
• When scrubbing off the mask, you can moisten your hands with olive oil, milk or water to make the process of scrubbing gentler on your skin.
• If you want instant results, use a homemade sugar wax prepared by heating a mixture of 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon each of honey and water. You can find this recipe in detail in this post.
