For centuries, women in India have been using sandalwood as a natural way to keep their skin looking young and beautiful. Sandalwood powder benefits include its ability to help the skin maintain elasticity, treat acne and blemishes, relieve dryness by adding moisture, reduce inflammation of rashes or sores on the skin. It is known for its cooling fragrance and antibacterial properties, which are great when treating breakouts or oily/acne prone skin.
