Being stuck with hectic routines, chaotic workplaces, and rising Indian temperatures tends to take a toll on our mind, body, and spirit. We’re constantly on the lookout to find the next big solution to inculcate a stringent self-care routine and find a healthy balance between work and play.
Enter Ayurveda.
Ayurveda refers to a traditional medicine system that finds its roots in the history of India. Emphasizing holistic healing, the practice is all about finding the right balance in life and imbibing it into your beauty routine as well.
In recent years, we’ve seen quite an upturn in the beauty industry that witnessed people seeking to opt for natural and ritualistic forms of skincare rather than generic drugstore serums.
Understanding the consumer shift towards products that derive natural benefits and a strong connection with spirituality, the Indian beauty market is now giving rise to a multitude of Ayurvedic beauty brands that promise to provide a nourishing experience.
Here are some brands that caught our eye and are definitely worth checking out!
I. Purearth
Pure, potent and precious- The brand approaches the concept of clean beauty with a refreshing vigour, one that skips chemical formulas and quick fixes for time-honoured remedies. Derived from the main principle of Ayurveda, Pureearth suggests that analyzing your dosha is generally regarded as the first step to seeking out Ayurvedic treatises. Concocting a range of slow skincare products that are sourced from organically harvested products and precious botanicals, the brand’s approach shies away from pre-mixed bases, fillers, toxic chemicals, synthetic colors, fragrances, and additives.
We recommend trying out the bands’ premium range of body butters, oils, polishes, and exfoliating treatments offered by the brand that are customized according to your skin type and concerns.
