cream scrub

Leftover cream from last time’s cooking? Don’t let it go sour, use it as a beauty aid instead…

Most Indian households tend to have a surfeit of cream or malai as we call it. Since we buy milk from the source or in packets, and then boil and cook the same before consuming in the refrigerator, the cream or the malai floats on top. This malai is then churned into butter (and buttermilk); the butter is then heated and turned into clarified butter or ghee.
