HOW TO USE MORINGA OIL TO BOOST YOUR SKIN & HAIR

Thursday, February 25, 2021

Moringa or Drumstick has several health benefits. Believe it or not, the whole Moringa tree from its bark to its leaves has miraculous properties. It is also widely used in Indian cuisines. In our house, we use Drumstick in our daily cuisines such as in Sambhar, or Curry, and also eat its leaves and flowers.

Moringa Leaves

Apart from its health benefits, Moringa Oil is known as Miracle oil for its amazing nutrients and benefits. It is extracted from the seeds of the Moringa Oleifera tree, in a cold-pressed process. It has a pale-yellow color, and a nutty aroma. You will be amazed to know that this miracle oil is your skin and hair’s best friend.

Drumstick

It has:

Vitamin A which helps to build collagen in the skin

Vitamin E which is not only anti-inflammatory, but also has properties to strengthen the immune system, regenerate body cells.

Vitamin C and Phenols which act as powerful antioxidants. Vitamin C reduces fine lines, protects your skin from free radicals, and repairs cells.

Cytcytokinins which promote cellular growth and delays the signs of aging.

Fatty acids create a barrier and give protection to your skin. Skin gets glowing, plumper, and smoother in time.

In a nutshell, Moringa Oil has antimicrobial, antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-aging properties. I think, this sorts out all our skin worries, right!

Kama Ayurveda Organic Moringa Oil

How to Use Moringa Oil in Skin Care & Hair Care:

1. Facial Oil:

Moringa oil is excellent to use as a facial oil as it hydrates the skin very well. If you have dry skin or dry patches, this is the food for your skin. Even combination and oily skin people can use it every day without any worry. You can use the oil as it is, after cleansing and toning your skin, or mix a few drops with your favorite moisturizer. This is the way I like to use this oil.

This oil is great to use for a facial massage. It gives you a glowing, soft, healthy skin. It heals your scars and helps reducing pigmentation in your skin.

2. Hair Oil/ Hair Serum:

Mix a few drops of this oil with other carrier oils to give your hair a good massage and spa treatment. If you suffer from dandruff or dry scalp, this oil will help you solve the issues real soon.

Similarly, you can take a few drops of this oil and use it as a hair serum after washing your hair. You can also mix this oil in your Shampoo or Conditioner to give extra nourishment to your hair.

3. Body Oil:

Pamper yourself with a massage with this lightweight, nutty flavored oil. This nourishes the skin so well and also helps to reduce the stretch marks in time. You can also put a few drops of this oil in your Bathwater to give yourself a calming pamper session.

4. Makeup Remover:

Are you a fan of Natural oils for removing your Makeup? Then this is a must-have for you. Switch over from Coconut Oil and start using this as your go-to product. This oil is so lightweight that it doesn’t break out your skin and removes your make up like no one’s business. Whether you have dry skin or oily skin, you will love it anyway.

5. Anti-aging treatment:

This Natural oil is superb for treating the signs of aging. The vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids help to restore your skin cells, and treat skin wounds and scars. This also protects your skin from any damages caused by the environment.

You can definitely use it as your eye cream and as your lip oil as well. No matter what season is in, this oil will not let you down. If you live in extreme humid area, use it as your facial massage oil and wash it off after 30 minutes to get the most beautiful skin.

Personally, I love to use the Kama Ayurveda Organic Moringa Oil which is a beautiful product.

I have been using it for a year now. And I simply adore it. This oil is 100% Natural, Preservative free, Cold-Pressed, Non-greasy, Lightweight, and very Soothing and Calming for my Sensitive Combination Skin.

The price is INR 1450. And a 100 ml bottle goes a long way for me and gives a very satisfying experience.

Moringa Oil is indeed a Miracle Oil, right! What do you say!

KAMA AYURVEDA BRINGADI INTENSIVE HAIR TREATMENT OIL REVIEW

Friday, June 07, 2019

Taking care of your skin and hair become more challenging with age. Human body goes through quite a few trials and errors in the whole life span. As far as I've witnessed so far, for women, it happens when they hit puberty, second when they enter in their late 20’s and start dealing with mature aging, and lastly when they leave the reproduction age and gradually enter into menopause. Along with the body, skin and hair also go through considerable amount of changes.

I am grateful to come across a few classy, amaze-balls products in my life. And right now, they have been working wonders for me. So, for the time being, my worries to deal with skin & hair care are pretty much sorted.

As I have been suffering from severe hair fall throughout my whole life, I face a hell lot of challenges every now and then managing my hair. If you have read my previous post, you must know that I have extremely fine hair with an extremely oily scalp. Maintaining it is one of my biggest struggles I face in my everyday life. I don't experiment with my hair that often. But if I come across any products that are naturally made, I like to give it a try.

‘Kama Ayurveda’ is one such brand whose few products have been helping me immensely for the past 3-4 years. They are pure, natural, preservative free, and absolute blessings of Ancient Ayurveda.

Let’s talk about ‘Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Intensive Hair Treatment Oil’ in details.

As per the company,

An intensive hair treatment to prevent hair loss, dandruff, and premature graying. The secret to Indians' lush, glossy hair – this traditional Ayurvedic recipe consists of potent herbs extracted into pure Sesame oil and Milk. A natural conditioner for lush hair growth that nourishes deeply while cooling the scalp. Also includes Indigo, Eclipta Alba, and Gooseberry to promote hair growth. Anti-fungal Licorice and antibacterial Balloon Vine prevent scalp infections. The earthy scent of the oil has a calming, meditative effect that soothes frayed nerves, uplifts mood, and aids in a good night's rest.

Benefits:

• 100% Natural

• Relieves hair loss

• Promotes hair growth

• Prevents dandruff

• Natural conditioner

• Prevents scalp infections

• Cools and uplifts

Price: INR 650 for 100 ml. and INR 1250 for 250 ml. Here are a few websites from where you can place an order. Just click on the names- Nykaa, Amazon, Myntra, Kama Ayurveda Website

My experience:

I used to mix castor oil and organic sweet almond oil to massage my hair. That too used to work well for me. Since I started using this Kama Ayurveda hair oil, I didn’t go back to that.

This oil is greenish black in color and has a strong ayurvedic fragrance. But for me, it’s a no-bother. As I use oil on my hair pretty extensively each time, it takes a strict wash to get out of the grease properly. I skip conditioner on most of the days because this oil naturally conditions the hair. And without conditioner too, my hair feels pretty soft and shiny. If you wash your scalp thoroughly, you won’t find any traces of the oil left.

Apart this, this oil also helps keeping the dandruff at bay. Irrespective of what oil you use, when you massage your scalp gently, it activates more blood circulation. If you can get someone to help you massaging the scalp, it would be great as you’ll feel so relaxed and get a hair-spa like feeling. Actually, you can carry your own oil to the salon and request the salon-person to use it specifically.

Does it really reduce hair fall?

I can give you a one-liner short & sweet answer. But it’s better that I share little extra. See, how much hair fall one deals with will depend on so many things.

a) Heredity and gene

b) Internal health (hormones etc.)

c) Daily lifestyle

d) External care (the quality and usage of shampoo, conditioner, oil, heating & styling accessories, hair products, etc.)

e) Quality of water in your washroom

f) Age

g) Stress

The points mentioned above play dominant roles on caressing of your precious locks. Even if any one of them is active somehow, it takes a toll, and we suffer from excess hair fall. So, it is vital to take care of our health as much as possible.

Apart from this, no oil has magic power to stop hair fall entirely. Fragile hair is prone to breakage. So, like me, those who have that issue by birth, suffer from hair fall automatically. The question is, how much can you do to minimize it?

For this kind of hair, whenever we use any oil on our hair, the root becomes loose, and we see severe hair fall even if we are using our best product. It is essential that we see the growth of new hair strands after losing the old hair. With this oil too, I see excess hair fall the day I use it on my hair. But I believe, people who have got luscious locks and strong roots, will not face that much of hair fall. Do let me know.

I still think this hair oil is extraordinarily amazing. Why?

Because after using this oil, gradually, I have noticed small baby hair all over my head, which gives me confidence that this oil is helping in new hair growth, which is a must do. On other days, when I don’t wash my hair, I don't see excessive hair fall. As my hair is very knotty, at least I lose 40-50 stands every single day.

Moreover, my husband too uses this oil once a week. And he is also getting amazing result after using it. So, both men and women can use it regularly.

Every person is different. And every product acts differently on everybody. So, before you try something new, it is necessary to take a patch test first, and then go for it on a regular basis. If any product is causing any effect that is not supposed to happen, stop immediately, and consult your doctor. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should always consult their doctor before using any product.

Conclusion:

For me, this oil is a blessing because I don’t find hair products that often which help in growing new hair, don’t cause any side effects as well, and most importantly, is free from chemicals and preservatives.

Have you used this oil? What’s your take in it? Please share your thoughts here.

Cheers!!!

#Pure Rose Water

PURE ROSE WATER FROM ‘KAMA AYURVEDA’

Sunday, May 26, 2019

Since ancient times, Rose Water has been blessing us with its countless number of benefits. Not only it has antibacterial, antifungal properties, but it also tightens the pores, purifies the skin, helps to reduce inflammation, and thereby acne and pimples, and offers a rejuvenated new look.

Long back, it was a dream to get the feel of real rose water in our country. Pure rose water was a mere dream. There were no brands who would provide ‘natural’ version. The only way to get the extract of pure roses was to create the distillation process on your own, which was time-consuming and almost impossible for most of the people. I, too, have fallen in the loop of buying something unnatural. When you have no option in your hand, you can’t choose, right! Also, the fact was that most of us had no idea about chemicals and preservatives at that time. Commercial ads were made to lure the audience, and most of the time, it used to capture the minds. In the name of rose water and in the desire of getting a rosy blush and petal-like soft skin, we used to fall for the trap and get cheated. Sadly, many people still have the misconception, and continue using the diluted version and many unnatural products.

I used to wonder that India, whose Ayurveda has been well known to the world and been beneficial to treating various diseases, why haven’t anyone made the attempt to make something pure and natural? Someone heard my inner voice, I think. And thankfully, the time has changed since then by the grace of some genuine Ayurvedic natural brands. And “Kama Ayurveda” is one of the most authentic Indian Luxury Ayurvedic Skin Care Brands.

Now, most of us girls are well aware of the fact that ‘beauty is pain.' To get a healthy, beautiful glowing skin, you have to work hard that includes taking care of your skin externally and also internally by maintaining a proper diet and healthy lifestyle. Nowadays, there are uncountable numbers of skin care brands who claim to use the recipes of ancient Ayurveda in their skincare and also claims there are no harmful ingredients in their products. Who the heck knows the truth? Only if we could see how the products are made or could test a sample in the lab, maybe then we would be satisfied.

But anyway, there are very few brands whose products are trustworthy as far as my experience goes. I have been using their products since they came in the market and I haven’t found any flaws. “Kama Ayurveda” is one of the brands and I trust some of their potent products blindly.

Let’s talk about their ‘Pure Rose Water’.

Benefits:

• 100% Natural

• Natural Astringent

• Balances skin PH

• Tightens pores and reduces oiliness

• Lightly hydrates

According to the brand,

Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water is made from the roses of Kannauj - a region in North India, rich in white soil conductive to roses' growth. The Kannauj rose is considered special due to its similarity to the Bulgarian rose. The steam distillation process used to create this water ensures a high level of hygiene and unmatched purity. Rose water is a natural astringent that balances and restores skin's PH level, helps tighten pores and acts as the perfect alcohol-free toner for oily or acne-prone skin. Its light cleansing and clarifying action help in removing cleanser residue while readying the skin for further skincare treatment. A refreshing spritz that can be used to refresh the skin at any time of the day.

How I Use It:

So far, I've used pure rosewater, one from ‘Forest Essentials’ and another is from ‘Kama Ayurveda’. I’ve loved the Forest Essentials’ pure rose water too. But since this one came in the picture, I haven’t looked back to anything else.

I love this as a toner and use a few spritzes of it before applying my favorite facial cream or facial oil. Rose water is a perfect partner to combine with facial oils as they glide and get absorbed into the skin so perfectly with it.

Except this, during the summer season, and also when I am traveling, I carry a travel size in my purse and spritz it whenever I like to freshen up. It really does give instant freshness and cooling effect.

Also, this rosewater works beautifully when you use it along with your favorite Face Mask. Whenever my eyes feel tired because of excessive screen work, I take two cotton pads, spritz some chilled rose water on it, and keep it on my eyelids for 15 minutes. Once you try this method, you can't ever go back to anything else to relax your eyes and revitalize yourself. It is indeed a delightful Eye Pack for tired and puffy eyes.

The Big Bottle is 200 ml. & The Small One (Travel Pack) is 50 ml.

Price:

INR 275 for 50 ml. & 1050 for 200 ml. (You can buy it at Amazon, Nykaa, Kama Ayurveda Website. All links are provided on the names.)

I know it is pretty expensive, but one bottle goes a long way even if you use it religiously. Not all things fall under budget, though it would have been more helpful in that way. 😉😉 Organic, pure skin care products require immense attention and hard labor. Naturally, the price set in accordingly.

I surely hope that this rose water’s price doesn’t increase any more than it is right now. That would be a bummer.

Any other pure rosewater in your eyes I should try? Let me know. If you are looking for pure rose water, this one is undoubtedly the best I’ve tried so far. Do give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Cheers!!!
