Good for Skin

Mustard Oil is loaded with vitamin E, an essential nutrient for the skin. Therefore, when applied on the skin, it is said to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and acts as a sunscreen. Traditionally, in India, babies are often massaged with Mustard Oil. However, recent studies have stated that Mustard Oil massage should be done with limited quantities. Too much of it could prove to be harmful and cause irritation. Dr. Anshul Bhatnagar, a Delhi-based nutritionist, says, “Mustard Oil has many topical uses and is good in various ways. However, one with oily skin should avoid massaging it on the face and it should also be avoided for body massages for those who have sensitive skin.”
