Since ancient times, our grandmother used chickpeas to get pure, glowing and flawless skin. Chickpeas or gram flour is one of my favorite face mask and scrub in the same time.
It is also used in Moroccan cooking to make Moroccan Harira soup , to make couscous, and a dish called “karan” from gram flour and eggs.
Gram flour contains a high proportion of carbohydrates, no gluten, and a higher proportion of protein than other flours.

- It lightens skin
- It reduces oiliness
- It helps to fade acne scars
- It Helps to remove blackheads
