We live in a time, when hazards of modern lifestyle are affecting our beauty regime. Moreover, the presence of harmful chemicals in our day-to-day use cosmetics is making it even worse. So, it’s time now that we look for alternatives, which can ensure a holistic wellbeing of our skin and hair. Desi Ghee is one such ingredient, which has the potential to ameliorate your beauty regimen.

Desi Ghee as a beauty treatment has been in use for thousands of years and has a lot of significance in the age-old science of Ayurveda. With numerous benefits, desi ghee or clarified butter is probably the most effective household ingredient for skin, hair and overall health. Apart from beauty benefits, ghee is also very helpful in maintaining a proper health. Many people have this wrong notion that ghee can lead to weight gain. However, the truth is, if you consume ghee in the right quantity, it can be actually beneficial for your body.

An effective moisturiser, desi ghee hydrates all types of skin and also works as an excellent anti-ageing agent. Let us have a look at its several benefits for the skin.

1. Hydrates the skin

Desi Ghee is enriched with all the essential fatty acids, which can induce hydration in all our skin cells. It has the potential to hydrate all types of skin, from naturally dry skin to super dry skin.

• Moisturises the skin

Along with hydrating the skin, desi ghee also moisturises the skin from deep within. Use of ghee as a moisturiser can help your skin achieve the softness you always desire.

• Keeps the skin bright and glowing

There can’t be anything better than ghee, if you want your skin to be bright and glowing. It purifies the system and gets blended with the natural moisture of the skin to give you healthy and glowing skin.

• Prevents and reduces the signs of ageing

Desi Ghee is regarded as one of the best natural anti-ageing solutions, which penetrates through all the 7 layers of the skin and makes the skin cells healthy and youthful.

• Reduces under eye circles

If you’re tired of those dark spots under your eyes, desi ghee can be of great help. Apply a tiny amount of ghee under your eyes and keep it overnight. Rinse it with clean water in the morning and you’re not going complain about those under eye bags anytime soon.

• Works as a lubricating lip balm

As ghee is an excellent natural moisturiser, it can cure chapped and dry lips with much ease. It works as a lubricating lip balm and gives you that perfect pout you always dream of.

• Prevents scalp infections

Just like your skin, your hair can also get benefitted with the usage of ghee. As a dairy product, ghee has the potential to kill bacteria that causes scalp infections. Also, since it is a rich moisturising agent, it moisturises the scalp from deep within, keeping it nourished at all times.

Apart from the above mentioned benefits, ghee also helps to soothe burns, heal cracked heels and can also be used as a substitute for bath oil.

In ancient times, pure desi ghee was washed 100 times in purified water to form a silky odourless cream that nurtures the skin by penetrating through all the 7 layers of the skin. This process is known Shata Dhauta Ghrita, and the cream obtained from the process is believed to one of the best medicines for complete nourishment of the skin. Alyuva uses the same old technique to create its unique range of creams and hair oils, which are infused with other exotic herbs and oils for that beautiful problem-free skin and hair you always wish for.
