Saffron is being popular nowadays especially in Indonesia. That is because saffron full of benefit for health and beauty.
Saffron was the spices comes from the Crovus sativus flower or henna flower. This spice was so expensive cause in one pistik, which can be used is just a little, so from make 1 pon Saffron, it's need around 75.000 flowers. Moreover, This flower harvest rate is very difficult. So, that's why the saffron was so expensive.
The plant of saffron can be found in several country like Iran, Irak, Maroko, India, Afganistan, Spain, USA, Italy, Netherlands, and Turkey. Amongs all of country, Saffron from Iran was the Saffron who's most wanted cause they were have good quality.
But In Turkey, this spice was so popular too. How many seller of Saffron in Turkey and Indonesian peoples who's visited Turkey, they will be proposed to bought saffron there, like I've done before. Formerly, I have never know about saffron, cause it's very expensive first. For 1 gram off saffron, I have to pay about IDR 100-200K, it's depend where you buy. So yeah I have never be interested to Saffron until that day. Not only my tour guide, mba 
In our day-2 in Turkey, we were visited the Munira, a gift shop. I think, everyone who's visited Turkey would be familiar with this market. Not only saffron, Munira also sell the Turkish Gift, something that you have to buy if you in Turkey and give that for your family and colleagues.
So I bought about 4 gram of Saffron for my moms and me who's have TB history. Also for my acnes problem, of course. By the explanation of the seller, it cam be used to my acnes scars.
The Saffron that Munira sells was Saffron origin from Irak. It was the high quality saffron that most people wants.

Meanwhile for Beauty it has benefit like moisturizer skin, make brighten facial skin, removes wrinkles on the face, for acne problems, removes acne scars naturally, removes panda eyes, removes black spots on the face, and many more.

How To Consume Saffron
How many way to consume saffron. Mostly, it recommended to consume the saffron like a cup of tea. If you bring 1 liter of water (as the videos above), you just have to put a little of saffron. It's about 3 or 5 sheets of Saffron. Don't put it down too much. It will be bargain tea. If you like sweet, the seller didn't recommended to put the sugar cause sugar will reduce the benefits of saffron. Put the honey. It's more be useful.
Meanwhile for beauty, you can make spray from the water of saffron. Apply that spray 3 times for a day.
By the way, in Turkey, Saffron also be used to spices and seasoning for cooking. There's a saffron for seasoning and it's clearly different from Saffron for health and beauty. The seller said that among two kind of saffron, saffron for healthy and beauty was the good quality than saffron which's used as seasoning is low quality. It will be third layer from pistil of Saffron flowers.
In Munira, I paid LT 750, it's about IDR 800K for 4 gram. In one gram has many sheets so it can't be run out fast.
