The healing power of nature never misses to fascinate us. This is also true when it comes to skincare! Dry, dull, tired-looking skin is a common problem when you do not endow it with proper care.
A healthy lifestyle is indispensable to maintaining your Prakriti, the primal energy of the three ‘Doshas’. Treating dry skin with herbs aligns with the wisdom of Ayurveda in reversing the damage done by prolonged neglect and gives you smooth, glowing skin.
