Homemade night cream. The addition of saffron will change a lot
Kate, whose name is @yourmategingerkate on TikTok, shares with her followers recipes for natural remedies without any chemicals. One of her videos is very popular, showing how to prepare a night cream with the addition of saffron. According to the influencer, this spice helps brighten the skin and reduce discoloration.

Saffron is therefore helpful in delaying the signs of skin aging and neutralizing free radicals. Moreover, this plant effectively lightens discolorations and evens out the skin tone. Crocin, quercetin and kaempferol inhibit the activity of tyrosinases – an enzyme involved in the synthesis of melanin. In addition, saffron increases skin hydration and limits moisture loss.
Preparing a homemade night cream is extremely simple. Just take a pinch of saffron and put it in a small glass jar with a lid. Then add two tablespoons of aloe gel, one teaspoon of almond oil, a few drops of vitamin E oil and a tablespoon of rose water. Mix everything thoroughly and it's ready. Simple, quick and completely natural, the night cream is ready to use. The cream should be stored in the refrigerator.
