5 benefits of sandalwood for skin
Beautiful, blemish-free skin is a dream. Sandalwood and its many properties work with other nourishing ingredients to hydrate the skin and give it a natural glow. We have listed the top 5 benefits of sandal below:
- Reduces acne
- Provides radiance
- Reduces tan
- Hydrates the skin
- Soothes irritated skin
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns. The increase in harmful pollutants, dust and dirt has made our skin susceptible to breakouts and irritation. Its anti-inflammatory properties reduce the irritation on the skin thereby reducing acne with ease.
Used in Ayurveda for massages and treatments, sandalwood naturally rids the skin of impurities and provides radiance to it. Its purifying properties and sweet fragrance make it the perfect ingredient for brides to use in their skincare routine.
The harsh rays of the sun can damage our skin and make it susceptible to the harmful effects of UV rays. The natural oils present in sandalwood can help reduce suntan. They are also effective in reducing sunburn and soothing irritated skin.
An emollient, sandalwood oil naturally hydrates your skin. It even possesses astringent qualities, which ensure that the dead cells are removed and the cells are moisturized effectively.
Antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, this nourishing ingredient is highly effective in soothing irritated skin. It helps reduce abrasions and provides a cooling effect to the skin.
