Very few people are blessed with naturally beautiful skin. This is true more so in todays lifestyle - living in smogy cities, unsuitable foods, exposed to radiation of all types, and a stress filled lifestyle. Thus a regular skin care therapy is no longer a luxury but an essential ingredient to combat the ravages of modern living.
The word ''Cosmetic'' comes from the Greek ''kosmetikos'' meaning skill in arranging. The root word ''kosmos'' means order. This perfectly reflects the ancient belief that beauty, indeed, is born of harmonizing your lifestyle as well as bringing order to the mind and inner workings of the body.
Using herbs, flowers, essential oils and naturally occuring minerals, Ayurvedic cosmetics can bring the skin to its own perfect balance. Cleansing, Nourishing and protecting are the key factors in Ayurvedic skin care.
CUCUMBER & ROSE WATER SKIN TONIC

Firm Skin Cream ( Anti wrinkle)
A very powerful cell activating cream which, immediately on application, activates the body's own resources to induce health and suppleness to the epidermal and dermal tissue, thus plumping up the skin from within to stretch away wrinkles and help the skin look young. The cell activating herbs also help reduce dark patches on the skin and make the skin fairer. Because the action is performed by the body itself, the improvements brought about by this formulation are long lasting.

This is a “Therapeutic Formulation” which achieves instantaneous results and proves more effective than many other expensive “anti-wrinkle creams”. It contains no gums, animal extracts or hormones - it is purely herb based.
Action: The intensive hydrating light cream base helps the absorption of the herb-extracts instantaneously into the skin. The synergistic blend of herbs stimulates circulation and cell metabolism, thus detoxifying and nourishing the dermal cells immediately. Hydration & nutrition is also provided by the base cream. The total effect is to induce health and suppleness in the dermal layer which stretches away wrinkles and firms-up the skin. This action on the dermal cells also helps lighten the skin, and the increased metabolism & circulation helps reduce dark patches and generally improve the texture and look of the skin.
