Tezzbuzz Desk- The blue colored Aparajita flower not only enhances the beauty of the garden, but it is also used in traditional home skin care. The toner made from it can help in making the face feel fresh and clean.

You must have often seen the blue flower of Aparajita in the gardens of homes or in the surrounding greenery. It is also called butterfly pea flower.

When the face starts looking tired and lifeless due to sunlight, heat and pollution, then some people use home toner prepared from Aparajita. It is also quite easy to make at home and requires only flowers, water and a clean spray bottle. However, it is important to note that home toner is not a cure for any skin disease. If there are persistent pimples, itching, redness, burning sensation or other problems on the face, then consult a dermatologist.

Water prepared from Aparajita can help in making the skin feel cool and fresh.
