When we think of Shilajit, the first image that comes to mind is often it's powerful internal health benefits, from boosting energy to enhancing vitality.
But did you know that Himalayan Power Pure Himalayan Shilajit Resin can also work wonders when used externally?
Thanks to its rich mineral content and potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, Shilajit has long been used in traditional remedies to support skin health, joint relief, and hair rejuvenation.
In this guide, we explore all the ways you can unlock the full potential of Shilajit beyond oral consumption, through DIY recipes, masks, toners, and topical applications.
Shilajit for Skin Health
1. Natural Skin Revitaliser
Shilajit contains natural antioxidants and antimicrobial agents that help cleanse the skin, combat inflammation, and protect against infections and breakouts. Simply rubbing a tiny amount of Shilajit resin onto affected areas can have germicidal effects and soothe radicular pains or certain skin disorders.
