Let’s talk about the lesser-known beauty hero, mustard oil.

You know this ingredient! Gives out a pungent smell, tawny in colour, probably sitting in a bottle on your mom’s dresser as you read this? Ring a bell? Yes, that humble mustard oil is a beauty potion trapped in a bottle.

There’s a solid reason why this wonderful ingredient has been in use since centuries for healthy hair, youthful skin and hydrated and soft lips. Filled with tons of vitamins and minerals, omega 3 and 6 and antioxidants, mustard oil can get you rid of every skin and hair issue out there.

Include it in your beauty routine to get healthy hair, skin and lips. Here’s how…

 

Hair

Hair

You can trust mustard oil for strong and long hair. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and protein, this oil is no less than an elixir for healthy hair. Heat up some oil and massage it onto your scalp and through the length of your hair. You can also mix it with some other oil like coconut oil or almond oil and leave it on overnight. Wash off in the morning for soft, shiny and strong tresses.

 

Skin

Skin

From getting rid of pigmentation to spots and blemishes to dullness, mustard oil can change your skin game completely. It lends a healthy glow, saves your skin from sun damage and provides deep hydration. Especially in winters, it serves as the best natural ingredient to turn your dry and dull skin into glowy and moisturised. For face, mix it with some honey and leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off. For the body, apply on damp skin after shower for hydrated and plump skin.

 

Lips

Lips

Mustard oil is extremely hydrating and can help heal dry and flaky lips, lighten dark lips and make them smooth and wrinkle-free. For soft and smooth lips, simply dab a few drops of mustard oil on your dry and chapped lips. Using it as lip oil can keep dryness at bay.
