Marigold Magic: In India, marigold is one such flower that comes to mind first in every auspicious work. Whether it’s a puja or a wedding mandap, Diwali decorations or any other festival, everything seems incomplete without marigolds. It is also very easy to grow it at home, but do you know that this beautiful flower is no less than a magic for your skin? Yes, marigold flower not only adds to the beauty of festivals, but can also make your skin glow!
Say goodbye to blemishes!
The marigold flower has exceptional properties that can make your skin spotless. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and soothing properties. All these properties together work to make your skin healthy and bright.
The marigold flower also has properties that improve the complexion of the skin. They help reduce dark spots, tanning, and pigmentation, resulting in a uniform skin tone and a radiant glow. Apart from this, its antiseptic properties also help in reducing acne and pimples, making your skin look clean and glowing.
Makes the skin soft and reduces inflammation!
Serum made from marigold petals deeply moisturises your skin. It makes dry, lifeless skin soft, smooth, and healthy. If you have rashes, redness or irritation, then marigold flower can be very beneficial as it provides a cooling effect. It even provides relief in case of minor wounds or cuts.
Keeps wrinkles away!
Nowadays, due to stress, pollution, insufficient sleep, and ultraviolet rays from the sun, premature ageing and skin damage have become prevalent. In such a situation, marigold flowers help repair the skin and slow down the ageing process. The antioxidants present in it protect the skin cells from free radicals, which can cause fine lines and wrinkles to appear on the face later on. Apart from this, the flavonoids found in marigold flowers also help protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

Beauty expert Sabrina Khan says that you can easily make marigold face packs, serums and masks at home to bring instant glow on the face.

2. Marigold serum: Keeps the skin hydrated!
Marigold serum nourishes your dull skin, keeping it hydrated and moist, which in turn makes it soft. To make this, take two teaspoons of marigold petals. Add one teaspoon of aloe vera gel, one vitamin E capsule, and 1 teaspoon of rose water to it. Store this serum in a glass bottle and apply a few drops on the face every night before sleeping.
3. Remove extra oil from the face with a mask!
If the pores of your skin are clogged, various types of problems can arise. To clean the face and remove excess oil, make a marigold mask. It cleanses the skin deeply. For this, take two teaspoons of marigold petals. Mix 1 teaspoon Multani Mitti, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and 3-4 drops of lemon juice to prepare a mask.
