Lifestyle Desk: The blue flowers of Aparajita are as beautiful to look at as they are also used in home remedies. Many skin related remedies made from Aparajita flowers are seen on social media. If you also want to make face serum at home with natural ingredients, then you can prepare a simple serum with the help of Aparajita flowers, aloe vera gel and water. Let us know how to make and use this serum.
Ingredients to make Aparajita Serum
5-7 fresh Aparajita flowers, half cup clean water, 1-2 teaspoon aloe vera gel, a small clean glass bottle, if the flowers are bought from the market, wash them thoroughly before using. Do not buy flowers that do not have information about the use of pesticides or any other chemicals.
Prepare serum like this
First of all, take half a cup of water in a small vessel and put Aparajita flowers in it. Heat it on low flame for a few minutes. If the color of the water starts turning blue, turn off the gas. Now let this water cool completely. After this, filter it with a clean cloth or a fine sieve, so that small parts of the flowers do not remain in the water. Mix aloe vera gel in cold Aparajita water. Mix both the things well and fill it in a clean glass bottle. Your homemade Aparajita serum is ready.
How to apply on face?
Clean your face before applying serum. Now apply a small amount of the prepared mixture gently on the face and neck. Avoid applying it on the skin around the eyes and on cut or burnt areas. Before using it for the first time, try applying a little serum on a small area of the skin on the hand or behind the ear. If redness, itching, burning or swelling appears, do not use it on the face.
For how many days can it be kept?
This homemade serum uses water and fresh flowers and contains no preservatives. Therefore, it is not advisable to use it by keeping it at room temperature for a long time. It is better to make it in very small quantities, keep it in a clean bottle and use it within a short time. If you notice any change in smell, color or texture, throw it away immediately.
Don't forget to apply sunscreen
If you are concerned about skin tone or blemishes, do not rely only on homemade serums. It is more important to protect the skin from sunlight while going out during the day. Apply appropriate sunscreen on the face and reapply as needed.
necessary precautions
Natural or household ingredients do not react the same way to everyone's skin. People with sensitive skin should take special precautions. If there are persistent pimples, freckles, itching, redness or other problems on the face, then it is better to consult a dermatologist instead of using home remedies.
