Natural Beauty

Has your skin suddenly started feeling a little dry, tight, and flaky this month? Blame it on the changing season.

Any time is a good time for self-love if you ask us, but February, the month dedicated to all things romance, gives us just another reason to pamper ourselves. It can’t be denied that 2020 was especially tough, and all that stress and anxiety first show their signs on our skin.

There’s an old saying in Ayurveda which tells us that we shouldn’t put anything on our skin that we wouldn’t put in our mouths. It sounds simple, but it’s amazing how even the people who are most stringent about their diets are willing to overlook chemicals and GMOs in their skincare

It can seem pointless to pamper yourself when you’re working from home and have nowhere to go but the grocery store — no judgement from us, we get it! For many of us before self-isolation, taking the time every day to do our make up, bathe, and do our nightly skincare routine is valuable me-time between work and family, now it may seem slightly futile to put in the effort.

Skincare isn’t just about what you put on your face, but how you do it. If you’re a keen gardener, you’d know that not only do you have to water your plants, but you have to do it at the right time of the day, with the right amount of water. The same principle goes for our skin! 

The one accessory that never goes out of style is a bright, healthy glow. Whatever you have planned this Valentine's Day, be it a fun outdoor date or an intimate dinner, beautiful glowing skin is a signature beauty statement that money just can't buy.

Ever noticed how your skin blemishes seem to congregate around the same areas of your face during specific times or with specific routines? 

Shanti oil is a special blend of Ayurvedic herbs and oils and some of the health benefits include rejuvenating the mind, body and spirit, reducing tiredness and stress caused by having a lot going on at work or in life – who doesn’t have a lot going on these days? This magic oil can be perfect for those cold mornings during winter to help you get out of bed and start your day.

Re-hydrating your skin – the Ayurveda Way



It’s that time of year when the cool, windy air blows and it’s hard to keep our skin beautiful and soft. When it’s cold outside, our skin is dry and no matter what we do it’s hard to keep it hydrated.  

Exfoliation is a big part of Ayurveda’s deep-cleansing philosophy and daily exfoliation can stimulate the skin, eliminate toxins and remove dead cells.

Summer heat can bring its own problems for your skin including sunburn, sun tan, itchiness, irritation and rashes. Sweaty skin, thanks to our high humidity, cloaks our pores with grime and dirt but fear not, Ayurveda can help keep your skin healthy and glowing over the next few months.

 

Spring skin care is focused on detox and rejuvenation when deep cleansing, exfoliation and gentle nourishment to prepare your skin for the hotter months to follow while keeping your skin looking radiantly fresh, clear and alive now.

Ayurda’s skin care is formulated with natural yet powerful ingredients that penetrate and work on the skin from the inside out. 

Cooler temperatures and dry cold winds can rob your skin of precious moisture. In ayurveda, autumn and winter are equated with Vata dosha, with its dry, rough and cool qualities. Dryness, cracking, dullness and roughness of the skin are common in cold, dry, windy weather.
