- 1). Purchase ready-made almond oil and saffron skin lotion. Numerous online international beauty products site have almond oil-saffron based lotions and creams, usually imported from India. Use as directed.
- 2). Buy your own natural sweet almond oil and saffron from a natural foods or grocery store if you want nothing but the two, pure ingredients. Both come in organic varieties if you're willing to shop a little harder and pay a little more.
- 3). Mix one teaspoon of finely ground saffron into a standard 4-ounce bottle of almond oil. If your saffron comes in whole pieces, then use a mortar and pestle to grind it to powder. Alternatively, spread it out on a large plate and grind it with the back of a tablespoon. Saffron is very soft and crumbles easily into powder. Increase the amount of saffron per bottle if you are aggressively trying to lighten your skin.
- 4). Wash your face or any area of skin you plan to moisturize before applying your saffron-almond oil mixture. Some even place a warm wash cloth on the face to soften the skin before treatment.
- 5). Apply the oil to the desired areas, massaging vigorously. As a guideline, 1 teaspoon of almond oil mixture is enough for your entire face. Legs and arms may require 2 teaspoons.
- 6). Allow your skin to fully absorb the oil. Do not wash or scrub after application.
