Saffron or Kesar for Glowing Skin

Saffron for glowing skin

Pollution, harsh weather and external factors make the skin dull and lifeless. In order to get its glow back, make a pack using saffron and honey.

The hydrating properties of honey and the healing properties of saffron improve blood circulation adding the glow back to the skin.

Saffron for fighting acne

With its amazing anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities, saffron is an ideal ingredient for treating acne and breakouts. It holds medicinal properties which can help in clearing up acne prone skin. Take 5-6 fresh basil leaves and 10 saffron strands. Soak them in clean water, make into a paste and use on breakouts to clear them.

Saffron for skin brightening

Soak a few strands of saffron in milk for a good half-an-hour to let the milk get its colour and other benefits. Add a teaspoon of sandalwood powder or chandan to this and apply the pack on your face and neck. Keep it for 15-20 minutes before washing it off. Regular use of this pack will help improve and brighten your skin tone.

Saffron is a good skin toner

Saffron makes for an excellent skin toner providing a burst of nourishment and freshness to the skin. Add a few strands of saffron in rose water and you have an instant fragrant skin rejuvenator. This will also impart a youthful glow to the face.

How to store kesar

Even a small quantity of saffron is expensive so it is important that you store it well. Keep it in an air-tight container (preferably glass) in a cool, dark place to avoid the effect of moisture and light on it. If stored properly, you can use it for several years before it loses its colour and properties.
