So, you are a few months away from your wedding and you want to leave no stone unturned to look your best on your big day. You have your look sketched out, you want to get the best bridal wear and most importantly, you are following a strict beauty regime so that you look radiant on that special occasion. Even as you ferociously prepare yourself for this once in a lifetime celebration, we are here to tell you how something as simple as saffron can help you to get a naturally flawless and glowing skin. So, here are some amazing reasons for adding saffron to your beauty regime.
Blemish-free skin
Saffron has anti-bacterial properties that make it an effective agent for healing blemishes, blackheads and acne spots. Simply make a paste of 10-12 saffron strands and 7-8 holy basil (tulsi) leaves. Apply this on the acne spots and let it dry before washing off. Do this regularly before your big day and you would end up with blemish free skin. You can also apply saffron soaked in milk on your face daily to get rid of blemishes.
Tan removal
Suntan is one of the most common problems many brides face as they run around for various wedding preparations without caring to apply a sunscreen. This can make their complexion look dull. Mix saffron and milk cream (malai) and let it rest overnight. In the morning, blend this mixture gently and apply on the tanned areas of the skin. Do this regularly months in advance to your wedding and enjoy great tan free skin.
Most Surprising Benefits of Multani Mitti
Fuller's earth better known as multani mitti, is one of the most popular beauty products in India. It helps to reduce acne, cleanses your skin deeply, does not have any side effects, and is affordable too! But, did you know that along with being used as a face pack, multani mitti can be used for other purposes also? Here, explore the multiple benefits of this product for your skin, hair, and home.
Care for all skin types
Unlike most face packs, multani mitti can be used on any skin type. If you have oily skin then simply mix multani mitti with rose water and apply it on your face. Those who have dry skin should add a paste of almond and milk to multani mitti and apply it regularly for nourishing their skin.
Glowing skin
Talking about radiance brings us to the most important benefit of saffron for which your grandmothers will also vouch- glowing skin. Use saffron in a homemade face pack by simply combining a few strands of it with a teaspoonful of honey and apply daily. This will promote blood circulation in the skin. Also, saffron has healing properties, which work together with honey to keep your skin sufficiently hydrated and moisturised.
Bright and light complexion
Make a face pack by mixing a few strands of saffron with milk and sandalwood (chandan) powder. Apply this pack on your freshly washed and moist face and neck using circular motions. Leave it on for at least 20-25 minutes. Let this magic potion do its wonders on your facial skin and enjoy a much brighter looking skin. Use this pack at least once in a week. Be sure to include this in your beauty regimen for months prior to your big day for best results.
Dull skin
Saffron can help to rejuvenate dull skin. By exfoliating the skin, it leaves it smooth and fresh. Soak 4-5 strands of saffron in a teaspoon of water overnight. Next morning, add a few drops of coconut oil, pinch of sugar, and a teaspoon of milk in that water. Dip a slice of bread in it and wipe that on your face. Rinse your face after 15-20 minutes. This pack will not only refresh your dull skin, but also get rid of under eye dark circles.
Dry or oily skin
Whether you have dry skin or an oily one, saffron can be a blessing for you in either case. Those who have oily skin, just prepare a mix by adding some saffron to a few drops of lemon juice. And, for those with dry skin should mix saffron with some milk. Apply the paste on your face and let it stay for 20 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.
Toning the skin
Saffron works as a great toner for the skin, which you can use after your regular cleansing regime. To prepare a natural toner, mix some rose water with saffron. Allow the rose water to soak in the colour of the saffron. You can dab this on your face using a cotton ball, after you clean and exfoliate your face.
Besides all of these, you can also add a few strands of saffron to your bathing water everyday to soak in its beauty benefits and to get a naturally glowing, nourished and refreshed skin!
