DIY Ghee masks: A moisture surge for dry skin, and hair

The long-established ghee is a staple in the Indian kitchen for its laudable nutritional benefits but is it limited to households in Asia alone? A few International celebs are loving its healthy hype as well. Kourtney Kardashian will vouch for it with a big yes. To give you a basic scoop, ghee is powdered with vitamins and antioxidants that improve digestion, functioning of the immune system, skin and hair health. Try and consume at least 1-2 tablespoons of ghee every day on an empty stomach or through the food you cook. 

We’ve seen what the inclusion of clean beauty products can do to us. While harsh-chemical-based products are slowly being popping off in markets with the emergence of safe-to-use ingredients, it’s best to keep your skincare and haircare as fuss-free as you can. Ghee is unquestionably a miraculous agent that is accommodated with fatty acids to help nourish and soothe chapped lips, dry skin, and hair. If your skin is oily, take little ghee and smear gently on your skin, and do not retain it for a longer period because of its greasiness. It can also charm your skin and hair by improving the overall texture with ample smoothness and shine keeping dullness afar. Get your much-needed care from these DIYs masks.
