DIY skincare is so much fun. It's lighter on the pocket and relatively side effects-free. Today, let's make a night cream with saffron for anti-ageing benefits.
Saffron
Saffron is a melanin-inhibiting spice. It will even out your skin tone and reduce dark spots. It also makes your skin smooth and soft.
Preparation
Wrap a few threads of saffron in a tissue and warm it up on a flat pan. Put these threads in a clean container.
Aloe Vera
Next, add two tablespoons of aloe vera gel to the container. This will work as the base of your DIY cream and make it easily absorbable.
Vitamin E
Add two capsules of vitamin E to the cream. Vitamin E will increase the shelf life of your DIY skincare and also will give you anti-ageing benefits.
Rose Water
As a final finish, add 1 tablespoon of rose water. It will soothe your skin and give it a natural radiance.
Mix
Mix all the ingredients till your concoction reaches a thick creamy consistency and the saffron has left its pigment in the mix. Store it in an airtight container and refrigerate it.
Conclusion
Always make DIY skincare in small batches as it has a shorter shelf life. Also, it is important to do a patch test before use.
