Benefits Of Sandalwood For Skin

The uses of sandalwood powder on face are many. Not only does sandalwood help you get clear skin, it also helps you get rid of persistent skin-related issues. Let's tell you how:

1. Anti-ageing

Sandalwood is rich in antioxidants that prevent skin sagging and the consequent formation of wrinkles. It is also capable of fighting the damage caused by the presence of free radicals in the skin. Ayurveda reveres it for its anti-ageing properties that can make skin firmer, while also reversing sun damage. Isn't that amazing.

2. Fights acne

You can even use sandalwood to prevent those wretched pimples from popping out on your skin. The antiseptic properties of sandalwood reduce bacterial growth on the skin, which makes it very effective in treating acne, boils, and sores and preventing them from worsening.

3. Removes scarring

Sandalwood is known to heal your skin tissues. This healing property helps in getting rid of scars from wounds, blemishes, dark spots and eczema. You can also use sandalwood powder for skin whitening as it removes skin impurities to give you an even tone. This is why brides-to-be are advised to apply sandalwood on face to look flawless on their wedding day.

4. Soothes the skin

Sandalwood is rife with anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it an ideal remedy for sunburns and skin rashes. It heals skin irritation and itchiness caused by infections, insect bites, or product reactions and also prevents eruptions and acne.

5. Anti-tanning

The effects of a suntan can last for long if not treated quickly. Rubbing sandalwood oil or applying its paste on the affected parts can remove suntan gradually as well as reduce the redness and burning caused by overexposure to the sun's rays.

How can you benefit from sandalwood oil

• Get rid of acne: Sandalwood oil is antiseptic in nature, which prevents bacterial growth on the skin. Hence, sandalwood oil can be used to treat acne and pimples. To get rid of acne, dab a few drops of sandalwood oil on the affected areas. Rinse the oil after a few minutes if you have oily skin; but for normal skin, it is fine if you let it stay.
• Look young forever: Sandalwood has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce the size of your pores and tighten the skin to prevent premature aging. It is also known to reduce oxidative stress in the skin. Apply a few drops of sandalwood oil on your skin and massage it in circular motions. Let it stay overnight and wash it off with lukewarm water the next morning. Sandalwood oil moisturizes the skin from within, giving it a soft, smooth, and younger appearance.
• Get a good night's sleep: Sandalwood oil is aromatic in nature, which allows it to soothe your senses and help you relax. If you are not getting enough beauty sleep, include a few drops of sandalwood oil in your skincare routine and see the difference for yourself. You can use it as a cleanser or a diffuser by adding a few drops of the oil in your lotion. You can even put it in your bathwater to help you relax.

While sandalwood oil can be used on all skin types, it is recommended that you do a patch test to avoid any allergic reactions.

1. It has anti-ageing properties
Sandalwood oil can keep the skin from sagging. Rich in antioxidants, sandalwood helps fight the damage that is caused by free radicals and thus prevents the formation of wrinkles. All you have to do is apply a mixture of sandalwood oil with honey and egg yolk, keep it on for 20 minutes, and gently rinse it off.

2. A cure for pimples and acne

3. It removes scars and softens the skin
Sandalwood reduces the appearance of bruises and scars, and softens the skin. If you can’t find sandalwood oil to get the job done, take pure sandalwood powder and add it to a carrier oil that suits your skin and let it sit for around 12 hours. Massage it on your face, leave it on for a few minutes, and wash it off with water
