How To Use Peppermint For Your Skin

Peppermint is an aromatic herb. Here are ways it can benefit your skin.

By Riddhi

What's more refreshing than peppermint? Very few things are, to be honest. But here's how you can use peppermint for your skin and hair.

Peppermint is best used in its oil form. It is an aromatic oil and can be used for multiple things. It is rich in vitamins and minerals. It is even rich in omega fatty acids, which as we all know, is a godsend for skin and hair.

There are many ways you can use it to get overall better skin and hair. You'd be surprised at the amazing ways it can help your skin. So do try it out the next time you need your skin to just wake up.

Even though it is completely safe to use it on the skin, we would suggest you to do a patch test because some people could be allergic to some ingredients. We don't want something bad to happen, especially to the skin. So make sure you don't skip this step.

So do try this ingredient out and let us know what you think!
