Say Goodbye to Expensive Creams: Make Natural Collagen Night Cream Using Palash Flowers at Home

As we age, the natural production of collagen in the skin begins to decrease, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and dryness. To hide or fix these signs, women often spend thousands of rupees on expensive anti-aging and collagen creams available in the market. However, instead of chemical-laden products, turning to Ayurveda's natural treasury can provide an incredible glow without any side effects.

Palash Flowers: A Storehouse of Natural Anti-Aging Properties

Blooming in the spring season, the red-orange flowers of Palash (Tesu) are rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. Palash flowers possess a remarkable ability to brighten skin complexion and tighten loose skin. A homemade collagen night cream made from these flowers not only repairs the skin from within but also helps keep the face youthful, firm, and glowing.

Ingredients Required

• Fresh or dried Palash (Tesu) flowers: 7-8 flowers
• Aloe vera gel: 2 tablespoons
• Vitamin E capsules: 2 (extract oil)
• Almond oil: 1 teaspoon
• Saffron strands (optional): 4-5 strands

Easy Preparation Method

First, wash and clean the Palash petals thoroughly. Soak them in 4-5 spoons of rose water for 2-3 hours (add saffron here if using). After soaking, mash the petals well and strain the mixture to get a deep orange extract.

Take 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel in a clean glass bowl. Add almond oil, vitamin E oil, and 2-3 spoons of the prepared Palash extract to the aloe vera gel. Whip the mixture continuously for 2-3 minutes using a spoon or whisk until it achieves a smooth, light, and creamy texture.

Store this cream in a clean, airtight glass container. It can be easily stored in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 days. Before sleeping at night, wash your face with a mild face wash and pat dry. Take a small amount of Palash night cream and massage it gently onto your face and neck in circular motions for 2 minutes.
