I just tried this sandalwood powder my mum got from the desi store - mixed it with some besan and milk and left it on my face for 15 minutes. Washed it off, and my dull skin looks rejuvinated and bright!
Also, that sandalwood soap from bangalore smells so good!
Yes it is...sandalwood oil is antiseptic and very soothing...some say it's an aphrodisiac...ppl use it to massage their face, to treat flaky/irritated complexions or acne...also it's calming and eases PMT (pre-menstrual tension) :)
