Bonjour Cuties!!!
Saffron: 3-4 leaves(petals)
Milk: 1 teaspoon
Sugar: A pinch
Olive oil or coconut oil: 2-3 drops
Water: 1 teaspoon
Plain bread: 1 slice
Method:
Pour water in a small vessel and add saffron leaves in it. Keep it overnight. By morning the water will turn yellowish, add milk and sugar to this water and then pour coconut oil drops in it. Now take a small piece of bread, dip it into this mixture and wipe your face with it. You might be left with bread crumbs on your face, Don’t worry, just rub your face with your hands, they should be easy to get rid of. Try to not wash your face for 15 minutes after applying this, then follow your usual cleansing and moisturizing routine.
Benefits:
Saffron is a time tested ingredient for improving complexion. The only catch is that it is considered to be a hot element, so using it in hot climates during summer’s results in small breakouts over facial skin. It’s best to take advantage of this boon for skin during winters.
Note:
You can also do it in the night if that suits you better. Just know that you have to soak saffron for about 12 hours before you can use it.You can skip oil if you already have an oily skin and don’t face any dryness problem in winters.
