If you ask a woman about what she her desires in life, having a picture-perfect glowing skin is one thing that she’ll definitely place on the list. Only a healthy skin has that wonderful natural glow even without any make-up on.
But pollution, harmful sun rays, excessive smoking, lack of sleep, stress, ageing, drinking alcohol and following an unhealthy diet rips that natural glow from the skin, leaving it dull and shabby.
Herbs are powerful medicine that can help us in protecting our skin’s natural glow. Ayurvedic tools like facial oils, packs, scrubs and ubtans gently nourish your skin, cleanse the pores and help the skin breathe better.
