Homemade Moringa Skin Care Face Mask DIY

Beauty lovers are well known by the name of Moringa! In the market, several skin and hair care products contain moringa. But do you know that it has been quite a common and popular tree in our country for a long time? It is also called the Magician plant, Drumstick tree, Horseradish plant, and Shigru in Sanskrit. (Rana et al., 2021)

Around five thousand years ago, Vedic literature in India documented Moringa’s healing potential. In folk medicine, treating paralysis and skin rashes, leaves are rubbed on the skin. In Arab countries, due to antioxidant and wound healing properties, young Moringa leaves are traditionally used. The oil of this plant is used to treat freckles, itches, and scabies. (Senthilkumar et al., 2018)

Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Moringa is an Ayurvedic ingredient that promotes healthy skin and overall wellness.

We can easily include this powerful ingredient in our DIY skincare recipes for glowing, soothing, and nourished skin.
