Apply gram flour, ghee face mask for instant glow
If you are looking to instantly brighten up your dull skin for an event, then the miracle ingredients for that could be right in your kitchen. Make a face pack by mixing some besan (gram flour) with equal parts of ghee and water. Apply this on the face as well as the neck and leave it on for 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water.
Contains antioxidants that can wade away dark circles, wrinkles
Desi ghee has antioxidants that help fight wrinkles and fine lines. Also, the fatty acids and vitamins present in the ghee help in reducing dark circles and under-eye bags. Gently massage ghee under your eyes with your fingertips in circular motions. Leave it on overnight. Rinse with cold water in the morning. Repeat this every day for a week for visible results.
Moisturizes the scalp and is an excellent conditioner
Ghee is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E and is an excellent replacement for oil. Massage warm ghee onto your scalp and leave it overnight. Use a shower cap to avoid staining pillow covers. This will improve the blood circulation to the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. Ghee is also an excellent conditioner and the same treatment can be done for shiny hair.
Ghee is an excellent exfoliant for the lips
Simply applying ghee to the lips can help nourish them when they are dry. Ghee can also be used as an exfoliant to remove dead skin. Mix some ghee with sugar. Massage the scrub onto your lips in a circular motion. Let it sit for 30 minutes and wipe it off with tissue paper. You will notice that your lips instantly feel soft and supple.
