A quick scroll through Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Instagram will reveal that she swears by one ingredient: sandalwood.

The Shakuntalam actress swears by sandalwood and frequently incorporates it into her DIY home remedies.

Sandalwood has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce skin irritation and redness.

This ingredient is beneficial to those who suffer from acne and eczema.

It also has antiseptic & astringent properties that help keep bacterial skin infections at bay, also smoothing the skin.

Antioxidants in the ingredient also help protect the skin from free radical damage.

The sandalwood and milk face pack will work wonders for those whose skin never gets past the flaky dry stage.

Another significant advantage of sandalwood is its ability to reduce possible pigmentation, sun damage.

If you need moisture and hydration, the sandalwood, curd, and honey face pack is for you.

To achieve fresh, radiant-looking skin, use lukewarm water to dampen and wash off the sandlewood.
