As the summer heat increases, our skin begins to experience more and more stress – from clogged pores, breakouts to skin irritations and sunburns. Regular showering is essential to maintain skin health and effectively remove sweat, dirt and excess oil. Sandalwood, also known as Chandan, proves to be a powerful ally during this season and offers several benefits that soothe and rejuvenate our skin. Here are the reasons why Chandan is beneficial to your skin.
1) Soothing: The natural anti-inflammatory ingredients in sandalwood oil help soothe skin irritations like sunburn, rashes and redness caused by too much sun exposure in summer.
