Herbal Skin Whitening

Many of you have been requesting for a skin whitening session.  This is a formula that I have been working on for a long time now. It is basically a mixture of herbs that does wonders for the skin. These amazing herbs are able to brighten and lighten the skin tone. These herbs are also rich in antioxidants thus they leave your skin feeling supple but taunt as well.  The main ingredients are garbanzo beans, turmeric, fuller’s earth, sandalwood, saffron and yoghurt.

I must emphasize, though the herbs are able to help you achieve a lighter skin colour it will be your responsibility to retain that colour tone.  How you ask, well my dear friends by using sunblock of course!

I have included a brief summary as to the benefits of the herbs below.

Benefits of Garbanzo Beans

Garbanzo beans are an excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Zinc. When applied topically, Vitamin C in the garbanzo beans help brighten the skin while vitamin B6 and zinc help heal the skin if any blemishes are present. Phtochemicals called saponins which can act as antioxidants are also present.

When consumed orally, it is also a good source of folate, protein and it is able to help lower cholesterol levels.

Benefits of Turmeric  

Turmeric is a natural healer for skin conditions such as eczema, acne, dry skin and psoriasis. Turmeric is also used in cosmetics as it helps to naturally slow the process of aging and restores youth. Turmeric is able to reduce  hair growth and gives the skin a healthy glow.

 

Benefits of Fuller’s Earth

Fuller’s Earth is rich in minerals. It is composed mainly of alumina, silica, iron oxides, lime, magnesia and when applied to the skin, it helps in removing dead skin cells and absorbing excess oil.  This makes the skin smooth, soft, moist and rejuvenated.

Benefits of Sandalwood

The best part of including sandalwood powder is that it benefits equally the dry skin and the oily skin individuals. It has antiseptic properties which help to fight skin irritations associated with dry skin condition and keeps it hydrated. While the astringent qualities reduce the pores of the oily skin individuals and keeps it taunt.

Benefits of Yoghurt

Yoghurt is a rich source of protein and is rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus,  magnesium and zinc thus it is able to “feed the skin”. Yoghurt contains many healthy enzymes and natural oils which help provide moisture to the skin. Yoghurt also helps to cool and calm the skin. When yoghurt is applied externally it is able to help in a number of ways. Yoghurt helps with blemishes and acne scars, whitens the skin, tones down freckles, is an effective remedy for sunburn, helps to exfoliate the skin as it contains lactic acid, provides moisture to the skin and reduces pore size. 

Benefits of Saffron

Saffron has long been used by the Indian royalty to enhance their beauty. It is added in Ayurveda products as it is able to improve skin disorders like acne, skin spots, sun tan and skin dullness. This is a very expensive herb and does wonders for the skin.
