What are the reasons for unclear complexion ?

The three main complexion concerns happen to be pigmentation, acne and wrinkling. Pigmentation, tanning, freckles and age spots, result in a darker and uneven skin tone; and are all accredited to over-exposure of the sun. They can be avoided by a sunscreen, but only to an extent. Acne (and blackheads), not only look ugly themselves; but leave even uglier, stubborn marks behind. And the factors responsible for it include excess oil and impurities, which clog (enlarged) skin pores. Wrinkling, though a part of the natural aging process, may appear sooner, with lack of optimum skin care.

What makes Saffron beneficial to complexion and skin tone ?

Saffron, or kesar, is popular for its anti bacterial property which keeps the skin free from infections and acne break outs.

Thus, allowing healthier cells to surface; as well as fighting and preventing problems such as blackheads and acne. The citric acid is also a bleaching agent, and helps in lightening of acne scars, burn marks and other blemishes; as well as the overall tone of the skin. Due to the presence of a particular oil, in the orange peel, it also makes an effective moisturizer. Finally, the anti-oxidant effect of its constituents helps prevent premature aging and wrinkling, while protecting skin from further sun-caused damage.
