A guide to our top luxury skincare range
One thinks about Paris, Milan and Switzerland when the phrase “luxury skincare products” pops up. What if we say Ayurvedic skin care is as luxurious as it gets?
For example, have you heard about 100 times washed ghee? It’s an Ayurvedic preparation known as “Shata Dhauta Ghrita“, a revered ointment said to heal and nourish skin by penetrating all layers of skin. This 500 year old lepanam is the ultimate in luxury as it takes time, patience and effort to make.
The same applies to all organic products powered by Ayurveda making its the ultimate indulgence.

How to choose organic skin care products? What to have in mind when buying luxury skincare products?
Everyday, there are numerous organic products or said “organic” skin care products hitting the market.
But what truly is organic? Are all organic skin care products good for you? Where should you be getting your skin care from?
We got you covered.
Here are the basic steps to purchasing the right organic skincare for yourselves
- According to concerns Your goal should be the key marker when choosing skincare products. Whether it’s to combat dark spots, to get glowing skin or to relieve acne, set your goal and search for organic products that help resolve your issue.
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true Don’t fall for marketing gimmicks. Do your research, get your skin checked by a dermatologist if you need to and choose products that have a reputation and have great ingredients.
- Know your skin type We can’t stress this point enough. Your skincare routine should be streamlined to your skin type or Ayurvedic dosha.
- Get to know if your skin Know if your skin is vata(dry), pitta(combination) or kapha(oily) and choose products specifically made for each skin type.
- Read the ingredient list Always flip the bottle and read long and hard. Always choose formulations with a minimal number of ingredients, that have natural herbs and extracts and those without parabens or SLS or chemical preservatives.
- Skip the label Not all skin care products labeled ”ayurvedic”, “natural” and “organic”are good for your skin. They may not even contain natural ingredients. Research is key before you invest in products.
- Don’t go by brand name alone Big names and glamorous celebrity endorsements may make you gullible to try out certain skin care brands. Don’t go experimenting just because of ads, choose only the right products that suit your skin.
- Choose Ayurveda Ayurveda is rooted skin science. It’s bharatiya, it’s using local ingredients and what has been the secret of beautiful Indian skin for thousands of years.
We did an extensive blog to help you choose skin care. You can read it at How to choose & buy Organic Beauty products online.
