Indian cosmetics: brands and choices

Indian Ayurvedic cosmetics are not yet very popular in Russia, but they have already won the sympathy of many girls. Its main advantage is the absence of chemical components in the composition, as well as an integrated approach that allows you to eliminate not only imperfections in appearance, but also the cause of their occurrence.

Indian cosmetics for face, body, hair and mouth are often called Ayurvedic, as they are created in accordance with the rules of Ayurveda - the oldest system of alternative medicine. I must say that Ayurveda, which is already more than five thousand years old, is engaged not only in curing diseases and eliminating external imperfections, but also in the formation of a healthy lifestyle system.

Thus, Indian cosmetics allows you not only to transform your appearance, but also to restore health to the body and make it so that it does not disappear in the future. This explains the high efficiency of oriental care products.

The use of Ayurvedic remedies is carried out, as a rule, comprehensively, since it is this approach that allows a comprehensive approach to solving the problem. A feature of Indian cosmetics is also a large number of herbal ingredients, but not only ancient recipes are used, but also modern formulas developed in scientific laboratories.

All Indian cosmetics can be divided into several series. For skin care, creams, scrubs, masks, ubtans, soaps and other preparations of a similar effect are used. You can tidy up your hair with the help of shampoos, including dry ones, balms and masks. Special Ayurvedic pastes and powders, various perfumery products are also produced. There are also decorative Ayurvedic cosmetics - powder, mascara, eyeliner and other items.

One of the main components of Indian cosmetics are a variety of oils that are known to have a huge number of beneficial properties. Almost every Ayurvedic remedy either contains various oils or is simply oil. Plants found in Ayurvedic remedies are most often harvested and processed according to the lunar cycle and time of day.

The cultivation of natural components is carried out on organized plantations, based on the rules of the organic and ecological agricultural process. Some companies even make sure that the herbs for women's cosmetics are collected by women, and for men - by men. Some of the herbal ingredients used are well known to Russian women, for example, rose and lemon, and some, such as tumerik or amla, are real oriental wonders.

Ayurvedic cosmetics are always based on herbal ingredients - natural extracts and oils... The use of glycerin or animal fats is discouraged in India. Moreover, there are no artificial preservatives and dyes in the composition. Again, only natural preservatives and natural dyes are approved for use. When purchasing an Indian product, you should not worry that SLS, parabens or phenol will be found in it.
