The blue colored Aparajita flower (Butterfly Pea Flower / Clitoria Ternatea), commonly known in religious rituals and herbal 'Blue Tea', is no less than an Ayurvedic boon to enhance the beauty of your skin. Aparajita has been considered a powerful anti-aging and skin-brightening element in both modern cosmetology and traditional Ayurveda. It contains abundant amounts of 'anthocyanins', flavonoids, polyphenols and vitamin C, which increase the level of collagen in the skin and protect it from damage caused by free radicals. If you also want to tighten and brighten the skin in a natural way instead of expensive chemical products, then serum and face pack made from Aparajita flower are the best option. Why is Aparajita flower special for the skin? The bioactive compounds present in Aparajita flowers are capable of eliminating many skin problems simultaneously: Collagen Boost and Anti-Aging: The antioxidants present in it maintain the elasticity of the skin, thereby reducing premature wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Relief from blemishes and pigmentation: It improves sun tanning, dark spots and uneven skin tone by controlling excessive production of melanin. Soothe acne and irritation: Its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties eliminate acne-causing bacteria and reduce facial redness and swelling. Deep Hydration and Natural Toning: It strengthens the skin barrier by locking in the skin's natural moisture. 1.
