Multani Mitti Benefits On Skin and Hair
Share
I have been using Multani Mitti on my skin for 8 months and have seen drastic changes in my skin and hair. Here are things that I thought were beneficial and some additional things that one should avoid while using Multani Mitti. Which is also known as Fuller's Earth. Here are some Multani Mitti benefits that I felt on my body and hair.
1)Multani Mitti benefits on skin-
I felt a lot of benefits of Multani mitti on my skin. It is much more transformative then we think it is and gives it credit.
i)Soothes skin-
Whenever I felt like my skin was irritated or had some redness or itchiness. Multani Mitti cures it in minutes. It is just so easy that I thought it was a dream. All my redness and itching were gone in minutes. I am using it as a paste, I take Multani Mitti powder and mix it with other things to make a paste. If you also want it in powdered form, you can get it from here.
ii)Less Oil-
This was its best feature as I used to have a lot of oil on my face all the time. Multani Mitti helped me to control it. Oil's best friend is dirt, that is why it was really hard for me to keep my skin clean. After I started using it, it was so easy for me to manage my skin. It really gave me the confidence that I always wanted.
iii)Glowing skin-
Multani Mitti benefits are somewhat dreamy because it gave me glowing skin. I started using Multani Mitti with besan and Rice flour. I used to just wash my face with it and after that, I used to moisturize my skin. My skin started to glow in just 1 week. I love to use Multani Mitti a lot.
iv)Chemical free-
One more benefit of Multani Mitti is that it is chemical-free. We are not exposing our skin to chemicals daily. Which is beneficial for our skin and health both. I always knew that chemicals were not good for our skin but I didn't knew what to use. Now I know. I used to use Multani Mitti alone but now I use something that has Multani Mitti but also other things that complement it. It is Nerya's bathing powder. It has a blend of 8 herbs that help in lot of skin issues. You can also get it in India easily by ordering online.
v)Removes Pigmentation-
We get pigmentation easily nowadays. From Sun, chemical products, dryness and for many more reasons. Multani mitti has the property of removing pigmentation from the face. Just make a paste of it with milk or rose water or besan and water. Wash your face daily with it or use it as a face pack once a week. It removed my pigmentation in one month only.
vi)Tan removal-
Multani Mitti is a great tan removal. It removes the tan quickly. Just make a paste of it and apply it to the affected area daily. Scrub it for some time and then let it work for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off. Follow up with a good chemical-free moisturiser. You can do it daily and your tan will go away in no time.
vii)Brightens skin-
Multani Mitti has the power to remove dirt from our pores more effectively than any other face wash or soap. So it gives us a brighter look and makes our skin bright. I have been using it daily and my skin is always bright and shiny. I have already told you that but I am using it in Nerya's bathing powder not alone.
These were some benefits that I felt in my skin after using Multani Mitti on my face for 8 months straight. Now let me tell you the benefits of Multani Mitti on our hair.
2)For hair-
Multani Mitti is one clay that has numerous benefits. One is on our hair, we can simply wash our hair with Multani Mitti alone and get a lot of benefits. I have been using it on my hair for quite some time and it made them so shiny and amazing.
Cosmetics industry has made us believe that we cannot wash our hair without cosmetic shampoos but it is actually not true. In India, for thousands of years people have been washing their hair with Multani Mitti, Ritha, Amla, and Shikakai and their hair was gorgeous. But now our hair is brittle, weak and dull. Just because of chemical shampoos. I was also a victim of this trap but now I know that my hair only needs these ingredients (Only one or all of them) to be clean and healthy.
I have been washing my hair from these things and I am going to tell you the benefits that I found from Multani Mitti.
i)No dirt and oil-
Multani Mitti takes oil and dirt out of our hair in no time. Whenever I am using it. I make a paste and then apply it on my hair and leave it for 1-2 minutes and then I wash it off. I make the consistency of the paste runny so I can just pour it on my hair. I make sure that my hair is completely covered with it. Then I massage it into my hair for 2-3 minutes and then I wash it off.
It removes all dirt and oil in just one go without any foam. So the gest is that Multani Mitti removes oil and dirt completely from our hair in no time and does not make our hair dull, ruff and frizzy.
ii)Soothes scalp-
With lots of chemical shampoos, conditioners, serums and whatnot. Our scalp is mostly irritated. Multani Mitti has a natural cooling tendency and whenever I feel like my scalp is itchy. I use Multani Mitti on my scalp. Either to wash my hair or make a hair mask of it. It soothes my scalp every time. It also works on redness on our scalp.
iii)Chemical-free-
It does not have any harmful chemicals. Harmful chemicals do not only harm our hair but they go into our scalp and harm our overall health. That is why I have completely switched to natural now. Chemicals make our hair dry, frizzy and prone to breakage that is why we need to use conditioner after using a shampoo. The conditioner does not work alone. We also need a serum to make our hair frizz-free. All of this is just smart marketing of companies so we would buy their products.
In reality, we just need some raw things to wash our hair and our hair will not frizz or become dry. Things like Multani Mitti, Ritha, Amla, Shikakai, Hibiscus flower etc. You could live chemical free and live happily, if you could make the right choice.
3)Things to avoid while using Multani Mitti-
i)Do not use it alone if you have super dry skin. Use it with Milk or Aloe vera gel to make it suitable for your skin.
ii)Always follow up with a good moisturizer so your skin would not dry up. As Multani Mitti removes all oil from our face.
iii)Patch test before using anything on your body or hair as anyone can be allergic to anything.
4)Conclusion-
Multani Mitti was the best thing I have ever used on my skin and hair. Before started using It I never imagined that one thing could have so many benefits. I have changed my skin and hair completely. I hope you also get your desired benefits from it. You can get 100% pure Multani Mitti powder from here. I have made sure that this is in its purest form because Nowadays in the market, there are a lot of mixed Multani Mitti avalaible. So always be sure that you are using a good quality Multani Mitti.
