Today’s article comes from the pen and kitchen of Deepali Sakhare, the Founder and Chief Formulator at Singapore-based skincare and haircare brand SVA. She shares recipes derived from Ayurvedic wisdom and modern pharmacology to clean up your beauty regimen.
Many among us are making conscious efforts to switch to beauty products that are natural and organic. After all, who wouldn’t prefer wholesome beauty solutions- products that make us look better without resorting to quick-fix toxins, cheap low-quality ingredients, and questionable production? But as the trend towards Eco Beauty gains ground, it is a good time to dive deeper into the concept. To my mind, it is not a simple matter of switching to brands with a “natural” tag or an “eco friendly” logo. It is in fact a philosophy that demands a lifestyle change!
So where can you begin to rejuvenate your cosmetic tool-kit? Start with ‘reducing’. First off, reduce the use of multiple beauty products daily. You don’t need to apply 11 products to achieve flawless skin. And second, reduce the toxic load on your skin and body. Use natural ingredients that are gentle on skin and immensely beneficial in the long run (to you, and the planet too!).
Let me share with you some magical recipes (no exaggeration) that work just like their expensive counterparts; only they are 100% natural, non-toxic, sustainable and FREE!! Have fun creating these recipes with ingredients right in your kitchen, and discover how potent Mother Nature’s unadulterated produce can be.

These ingredients and vitamins combine to make banana peel an anti-inflammatory powerhouse. It’s great to reduce inflammation, treat acne, hydrate and polish your skin! Read more…
