Black Gram, aging skin’s Ayurvedic knight has such surprising benefits for your skin that you’ll be amazed, really!
Also known as an ‘uber nourisher’ in ancient Ayurvedic texts, Black Gram Black is revered as a natural Vata pacifier. It imparts smoothness and moisture to the skin and keeps it feeling plump and soft.
The oil derived from this nutritious kitchen-ingredient is also known to promote youthful, firm and tight looking skin, and manage the appearance of sagginess and crepiness.
Its intense moisturising and nourishing powers, along with its smooth, non-sticky and non-greasy texture are what make it a suitable ingredient for any skincare – be that for the face or for the body!
Particularly recommended for thin, frail, delicate or translucent-looking skin, Black Gram:
- Ensures that the skin stays looking moisturised, supple and soft
- Helps reduce the look of deepened wrinkles
- Gives skin a silky-smooth feel and polished look
- Firms the look of saggy skin
But it has one unique quality for which it is specially prized in Ayurveda and qualifies it has a key ingredient in any skincare product - Unctuousness- unlike any other emulsifier, cream or butter in the whole world!
This unctuousness is an innate quality of this intensely nourishing lentil and, when used through the right modality, can do wonders for the skin, unlike any other moisturiser!
BUT WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF INTRODUCING BLACK GRAM TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
for firmer, more youthful looking skin!
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SAFFRON, AT HOME, FOR YOUR SKIN
In case you are thinking of trying Saffron as part of a quick home remedy, here are a list of tips:
For enhancing radiance:
Mix one teaspoon of sandalwood powder with two to three strands of saffron, and two spoons of milk. Wash and wipe your face with a cloth before applying this face mask. Keep applying until your face and neck region is covered in a thin coat. Ensure to follow a circular massaging motion while applying. Rinse off with cool water just when it starts to dry.
For improved skin tone and complexion:
Soak a few strands of saffron in milk for 2 hours. Smear this milk all over your face and neck. Wash off after a few minutes. To get the best results, use it regularly.
For skin that appears clear and blemish-free:
Mix 5-6 holy basil (tulsi) leaves with 10-12 strands of saffron to make a fine paste. Apply this on the face. Wash off with cold water after 10 to 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can also apply saffron soaked milk on your face, like explained above, twice a day to help clear the look of blemishes.
