Kesar as we Indians call it, saffron is one wonder product
when it comes to skin care and beauty products. The use of saffron extracts has
been in trend for ages.
The benefits of saffron on skin are many.
Saffron strands are easily available in most of the
departmental stores. Here are few of the best and easy ways of using saffron
for radiant skin.
Saffron + milk
Drop few strands of saffron in about 50 ml of warm milk and
keep aside for half an hour. The milk will turn golden orange in some time
indicating that the saffron has discharged its extracts/flavour into the milk.
Dip a cotton ball into the saffron milk and dab it all over
face and neck. Massage with slight circular motion and wash with warm water
after 15 minutes.
This acts a good skin cleanser and moisturizer too resulting
in a clean radiant glow.
Saffron + milk + corn
flour face pack
Add half cup corn flour to saffron milk and mix well. Adjust
the amount of saffron milk to prepare a thick paste.
Apply evenly on face and neck and allow until it dries
completely. Wash off with water. These natural ingredients in this homemade
face pack are all skin friendly and are very beneficial when applied topically.

brown sugar scrub
Exfoliation is important for any skin type. It reveals the
youthful skin hidden underneath the dead skin cells.
Mix any of the gritty textured substance from your kitchen
shelf along with saffron milk. Brown sugar is one of the best known skin scrubs.
Mix brown sugar and milk with saffron extracts in a bowl to
form an excellent exfoliator.
For face, press your fingers against the mixture to pick the
least possible quantity of the home made saffron brown sugar scrub. Rub gently
against the wet skin and massage in gentle motions.

corners and chin to lift away the dead cells.
To use it as a body scrub, apply all over and scrub with
sufficient pressure wherever required (elbow, knew joint, foot, ankle, neck and
also underarms). After bath, you will experience soft polished skin.
