• Sadly the use of bath powders is slowly diminishing and nowadays younger generation generally prefer only store bought soaps and body washes.

• Homemade bath powders also smell great if you add ingredients like kasturi turmeric and rose petal powder. Once you get to know the benefits of herbal bath powders, you will start using them regularly.
