We've heard enough about how good almonds are for our health but do we know how beneficial they are for our hair and skin? Badaam, as we call it here in India, is rich in vitamins, minerals as well fibre and when used in a hair pack or a skin mask, can easily better your tresses and skin. So be it almond oil for hair or an almond face pack for the skin, this nut has several beauty benefits. Read on to know more about it...
All you need to do is mix 2 tbsps of almond powder with 5 tbsp of raw milk. Now apply this on your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash off with cold water.
Benefits: Almonds are rich in essential fatty acids that have the power to control oil secreted by the sebaceous glands. When this oil is controlled, acne and the oiliness in your skin will slowly reduce.
For dark circles
In this concoction, you need to grind 5 almonds and then mix the powder with honey and let this mask stay on your face for about 20 mins before you wash it off.
Benefits: Almonds give you Vitamin E in abundance, which is known to heal your skin against sunburn and other such skin concerns. For the same reason, almonds are also used to heal dark circles and puffy eyes.
For hair growth
Massage your scalp with almond oil. Make sure you apply a few drops to the roots and then massage in circular motions. Leave it on for at least 2 hours and then shampoo and condition your hair.
Benefit: Almonds contain high amount of magnesium, which is an essential mineral for having healthy strands.
If you wish to give your skin the goodness of Vitamin E like almonds do...
Since almonds contain Vitamin E that has moisturising and healing properties, you need to use the Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Night Repair Crème that also contains the goodness of Vitamin E—the ingredient that will give your skin a natural glow and repair your skin.
