Vaadi Herbals Saffron Skin-Whitening Massage Cream(50gm)

The color, texture as well as the appearance of our skin, taken together, is referred to as the complexion. Over the years, our complexion takes a beating due to a number of external factors; making it less than ideal. Sun-exposure, more evidently, leads to sun burns, tanning, pigmentation, freckles etc. However, it also promotes formation of free radicals that ultimately lead to wrinkling. And impurities in the air, or chemicals in the cosmetics, can lead to skin infections or clogged pores. Moreover, a skin that is either too oily can cause acne and blackheads; while one which is too dry can become flaky and cracked. Basically our complexion loses the beauty and glow. The sun and air cannot be avoided; nor can the basic skin-type be altered. But optimum skin care can better the complexion.

Saffron, also known as kesar, is a derivative of Crocus sativus' flower; and has since ages been used to cleanse, tone and brighten the skin. Its ability to unclog pores by removing dead skin cells as well as excess oil makes it a powerful anti acne agent. Additionally, it is also anti bacterial, hence effective against skin infections. It also lightens tanned skin, reduces blemishes, pigmentation and acne scars, and evens out the skin tone. Hence it is a popular skin-lighting and complexion-smoothening agent. It is also well known as an anti oxidant, due to its ability to promote cellular regeneration and formation of collagen. Thus it helps delay wrinkles, by improving skin's elasticity.

Sandalwood oil is obtained from Santalum album. It is a natural emollient, i.e. it helps skin in keeping hydrated and thus supple; making it suitable for dry skin. It is very beneficial for oily skin too, due to its astringent action. This action also contracts pores and tightens the skin; thus helping in reduction of fine lines. It is even known to soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation; making it ideal for sensitive skin as well. This essential oil prevents formation of ugly scars; and it is also beneficial in fading away of scars, spots, freckles as well as reduction of under-eye circles. An anti-septic by nature it also protects boils and pimples from getting infected.
