Get bridal glow in a sip: Bhagyashree's 15-day saffron water beauty ritual is going viral
Bhagyashree reveals her simple beauty secret: saffron-infused water. This age-old remedy, consumed on an empty stomach for 15 days, combats skin dullness caused by pollution. Saffron's antioxidants brighten complexion, reduce pigmentation, and boost collagen, giving a bridal-like glow. Incorporating this affordable ritual can restore inner radiance and improve skin elasticity.
In the world of natural beauty remedies, sometimes the most powerful solutions come from age-old traditions, passed down from generation to generation, yet often overlooked in today's fast-paced lifestyle.
Actor Bhagyashree, known for her evergreen grace and wellness wisdom, recently revealed a simple skincare secret that's winning hearts on Instagram. The best part? It doesn't involve any creams, serums, or facials - just a small tweak to your morning routine.
In a short yet impactful video, Bhagyashree shared a ritual she swears by: sipping on kesar ka paani (saffron-infused water) every morning on an empty stomach for 15 days.
'Dust aur pollution ki wajah se agar aapki skin sad si lagg rahi hai, toh aapko zaroori hai andar ki radiance ki,' she said, emphasising that skin dullness caused by daily environmental stressors must be tackled from within.
Why saffron?
Saffron, also known as the 'golden spice,' is packed with powerful antioxidants like crocin and safranal, which are known to brighten the complexion, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin texture.
Bhagyashree explains that 10-15 strands of kesar soaked in lukewarm water overnight and consumed first thing in the morning, can help restore your skin's lost glow, thanks to its natural collagen-boosting properties.
The bridal glow effect
'There's something about saffron that gives your face dulhan wali raunak (a bridal-like glow),' Bhagyashree says. And it's not just an old wives' tale.
Studies suggest that saffron can support skin cell turnover and improve elasticity when consumed regularly, making it a popular ingredient in Ayurvedic skincare.
A ritual worth adopting
Incorporating saffron water into your daily routine is effortless and affordable. Just add a few strands to half a cup of lukewarm water at night and drink it the next morning before breakfast. For visible results, Bhagyashree recommends doing this consistently for at least 15 days.
If your skin is feeling dull, tired, or lifeless despite your regular skincare efforts, this inside-out remedy might be just what you need. As Bhagyashree beautifully puts it, 'inner radiance' is the secret ingredient to true beauty and sometimes, all it takes is a sip of saffron water.
