Beshti

Beshti, also known as Beshhti or Beshtee, is a traditional South Asian technique used for hair removal, involving the application of a warm, sticky paste made primarily from natural ingredients like chickpea flour, turmeric, and other herbs. The paste adheres to unwanted hair and is removed after drying, pulling out hair from the root. It’s a gentle, natural alternative to chemical razors or waxing, often used in cultural beauty practices. Beshti can also have skin benefits, such as exfoliation and improved skin tone, making it a popular method in traditional grooming routines.
