The scorching heat of summer often takes a toll on our skin, leading to dryness, dullness, sweat-induced acne, and inflammation. While store-bought face mists may offer temporary relief, many contain alcohol and artificial fragrances that can worsen the skin’s condition over time. This is where Ayurveda and natural remedies come to the rescue. One such hidden gem is Banslochan, a mineral-rich bamboo secretion used in Ayurvedic formulations for its cooling, healing, and rejuvenating properties.

In this guide from Dirghaanshi, we will walk you through how to make a refreshing Banslochan face mist at home using natural ingredients that soothe, hydrate, and protect your skin during the summer months. This homemade mist is free of harmful chemicals and suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive and acne-prone skin.

🌼 Long Description
✅ What is Banslochan?
Banslochan, also known as Tabasheer, is a crystalline substance extracted from the hollow part of mature bamboo. It is naturally rich in silica, a compound that plays a vital role in maintaining healthy skin, nails, and hair. In Ayurveda, Banslochan is valued for its:

Cooling (Shita) properties

Skin rejuvenation ability

Anti-inflammatory effects

Toxin-clearing and detoxifying benefits

Gentle healing of skin irritations

When converted into a water-based mist, Banslochan offers immediate relief to summer-stressed skin.

🌿 Why Use a Face Mist in Summer?
A face mist is a lightweight hydrating spray that:

Replenishes moisture

Soothes redness and irritation

Cools down overheated skin

Revives dullness

Prepares skin for better absorption of serums or moisturizers

Using a natural Banslochan-based mist combines the benefits of hydration with the healing power of Ayurvedic ingredients.
