5 Beauty benefits of sandalwood
4. It softens the skin
You can mix sandalwood with milk and apply it on your face for softening your skin and nourishing it at the same time. Some people also like to add honey to this mixture, and they get a fairer looking, glowing skin that way, which is smooth and clear.
5. It reduces tanning
To reduce your suntan, you can mix sandalwood powder with fuller’s earth, a little cucumber juice, some tomato juice, and even some honey and lemon. Apply this mix on the affected areas, and the properties of all these ingredients will be very useful in reducing your tan quite effectively.
Different kinds of face packs can be made at home by using sandalwood. Depending on the kind of benefit you are looking at, you can mix sandalwood with a variety of ingredients. Or if you want to go for a basic sandalwood paste or facemask, then you can be assured of a smoother and softer skin with reduction in tan, acne, blemishes and marks. In fact, when mixed with ingredients like papaya and banana, it also helps to fight against wrinkles and fine lines and aids in getting a younger looking skin.
