Rich in antioxidants, Palash flowers help combat free radicals, which are responsible for premature skin ageing. Regular application of Palash flower paste may help reduce the visible signs of ageing, while also protecting skin cells from damage and encouraging the formation of new ones, leaving your complexion looking younger, fresher, and naturally radiant.

Palash flower paste is also effective in treating acne. Its anti-inflammatory properties can reduce swelling and irritation caused by breakouts. Additionally, it can soothe sunburn, reduce tanning, and calm redness or rashes. When applied around the eyes, Palash paste may also help reduce dark circles. (Local18)

To prepare the face pack, take 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of Palash flower powder and mix it with rose water and honey to form a smooth paste. Apply this mixture to your face and under-eye area, leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse off with plain water. (Local18)

Before using the paste on your face, it’s essential to do a patch test. Apply a small amount to an area of skin (not on the face) and rinse it off after 15 minutes. If no irritation occurs, it’s safe to proceed with facial application the following day. (Local18)
