Ways to use gelatin that you never imagined

Read in EnglishGelatin is an ingredient obtained from collagen found in animal tissues. Being colorless, translucent, and tasteless, it is used to give a firmer texture to dishes without affecting their flavor. It is usually used to prepare desserts or mousses, but it also has other very useful applications outside the kitchen. Here are some ways to use gelatin that you never imagined.Hair MaskCombine one tablespoon of powdered gelatin with half a glass of water, one egg, two tablespoons of olive oil, and a splash of hair conditioner. Mix all the ingredients well and then apply it to your hair, from roots to tips. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes and then rinse. Your hair will be silky and shiny.Nail TreatmentsIf your nails are brittle or slightly yellowish, gelatin can also help you. In a small bowl, add boiling water and half a packet of powdered gelatin. Dissolve well and then dip your nails into the mixture for about 10 minutes. By doing this at least once a week, you will start to see your nails strengthen and look better.Deep Cleansing Mask for the FaceThe texture of gelatin is ideal for removing impurities from the skin. Mix unflavored gelatin and baking soda in equal parts with a splash of lemon juice. If the acidity of the lemon irritates you, you can dilute it with a bit of water. Mix the ingredients well until a paste forms and apply it to your face. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and then rinse your face with warm water.Blackhead Removal StripsThe combination of gelatin with egg white and activated charcoal is excellent for getting rid of blackheads. All you need to do is mix the three ingredients and then apply them to your nose or chin with the help of a brush. After a few minutes, the mask will harden and you can easily peel it off.Enriched ShampooA very simple way to give more life to weak or very thin hair is to add a packet of gelatin to the shampoo bottle. And that's it! The consistent use of this enriched shampoo will make your hair look more voluminous and will help give more body to your entire mane.Do you know any other beauty tips using gelatin?
