Kefir For Your Hair, Skin, and Nails

Interesting Fact! Milla Jovovich likes to refresh her face with ice water and cucumber.

With all our experiments with various hair dyers, hair lightening, flatirons and hairdryers our hair may look not 100% superb but luckily for you I know what can revive them: kefir! Yes, that’s right; kefir is rich with bioactive substances which improve hair structure and its roots. Which hair mask is best for you depends on the type of your hair. Of all homemade beauty recipes this is one of my favourite:

For dry hair

Mix 3 tablespoons of kefir, 1 teaspoon of castor oil and 1 egg yolk. Apply it to your hair for 30 minutes. You can make this mask once a week.

For oily hair

Warm and filter 1 cup of kefir. Mix the derived whey with burdock root broth in equal proportions. Rub this mixture into the roots of your hair before every washing over the course of three weeks. 

For general strengthening you can apply kefir along the full length of your hair paying special attention to the hair ends. Put on a shower cap and wrap your head with a towel. Leave it like that for 20 minutes. I recommend to wash away this mask with water and lemon juice or vinegar.

Kefir bath is also good for your hands and nails. If you do this simple procedure everyday for 10 minutes, you will get the positive result in 1-2 weeks. The skin on your hands will be smooth and you nails won’t flake.

You can also make a wonderful scrub by mixing kefir with sea salt. I can also recommend a mask for skin whitening: mix a few spoons of grated green tea with kefir and apply it to your face for 15 minutes. This mask enriches your skin with oxygen and nourishes it with bioactive substances.
