The natural sheen and glow of our skin get affected due to stress, pollution, and the different harsh chemicals we lather upon ourselves, thinking they are suitable for the skin. But then, the ancient holistic approach, Ayurveda has other notions that help us achieve healthy radiant skin.
Ayurveda provides us with oils and ubtan that help nourish and pamper your skin. You can also use products readily available at your pantry. Try using
Turmeric: Turmeric is one Ayurvedic ingredient that finds its place in our kitchen. The benefits of adding to our food are numerous. But then you can also use it by making a paste and applying it to your face and neck. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help eliminate the free radicals providing the skin with the much needed glow. If you wish to go authentically, you can opt for Shesha Ayurveda's yellow Kasturi Manjal face pack. In case you do not want to stain yourself, you can also opt for a Musk Turmeric face pack from Shesha Ayurveda. Unlike our yellow turmeric, Musk turmeric does not stain the skin, nor does it irritate the skin. It provides a cooling sensation.
