For a very long time, sandalwood has had a place of dignity and respect reserved for it in many of the religions and societies across the world.
Sandalwood powder helps in fighting acne-causing bacteria, exfoliates the skin, soothes sunburn, removes suntan and also reduces signs of ageing such as dry skin and wrinkles. The smell of sandalwood also immediately leads to your mood becoming all the more pleasant.
