How to use sesame oil on your skin
There are few ways to use sesame oil for your skin depending on purpose of usage and skin condition, as Priyo News states. However, we can provide you with few general tips and beauty recipes that will benefit your skin.
- In order to give your skin a nice and nutrient night treatment, mix ½ cup of sesame seed oil with ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar and ¼ cup of water, and apply the mixture on your face as a cream, but before splash it a bit with water. Such treatment will smooth and moisturize the skin along with eliminating bacteria, resulting in healthy and glowing skin.
- To make a facial scrub, use approximately half tablespoon of rice powder and mix it with one teaspoon of sesame oil. Rub your face with the scrub gently and then wash it off with warm water.
