Applying Kajal/Kohl to eyes is an ancient practice followed by many traditions across the world. Kajal was used both as a pure cosmetic to outline and beautify the eyes as well as an important tool to introduce herbal medicines into the body easily and effectively. In fact, they say that if you want any medicine to get absorbed into your body immediately, you must either apply it on the inner eye line or keep it under the tongue. But whatever reason one may choose to wear Kajal these days, one can certainly not deny the appeal and the wonder it does to uplift/enhance your whole face. So, why not learn to make a 100% chemical-free version of this wonderful, most important beauty aid?
Here's a step by step guide about how to make your own detox kajal at home.
Ingredients:
Castor Oil, Cotton
A clay pot or plate, a clay lamp
Bringaraj Leaves OR Crepe Jasmine Flower
