Walnuts are rich in nutrients such as protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins E and B. These can help protect your skin from problems such as dryness, acne, and premature aging. Here are three ways to use walnuts for skin care:
1. Walnut mask
To hydrate your skin, you can make a mask from walnuts combined with honey and gram flour. Walnuts are a great source of moisture, while honey helps lock in moisture and gram flour helps exfoliate.
Soak 2-3 walnuts overnight, crush and mix with 2 teaspoons of water and 1 teaspoon of chickpea flour to form a paste. Apply on face for 20 minutes and then rinse.
2. Exfoliate with walnuts
Walnuts can be used as a gentle exfoliant for the skin. Crush 2-3 walnuts and mix with olive oil. Rub the mixture on your skin, especially your forehead, cheeks and chin for 10-15 minutes and then wash off with warm water. Regular use will make your skin softer and brighter.
3. Walnut skin care oil
Walnut oil is a great choice for moisturizing and anti-aging. Containing vitamin E and antioxidants, walnut oil helps protect the skin from free radicals and slows down the aging process. You can add 5-6 drops of walnut oil to your evening moisturizer and apply it evenly on your face. Repeat regularly for best results.
