Want to enliven your face again but don’t want to step out in the heat? Follow this Ayur Herbals’ at home facial routine for refreshed skin!

Step 1 - Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser like Ayur Herbals’ Lemon and Honey Face Wash. Being a natural humectant, honey binds moisture within the skin, keeping it supple. Additionally, honey’s antibacterial and antioxidant nature help treat and prevent acne, and fight free radicals respectively. The vitamin C in lemon promotes collagen generation, helping maintain the skin’s youthful appearance. It also enables skin brightening and thus, evens out the skin tone. Lastly, lemon extracts act as a natural exfoliator that remove dead skin cells.

Step 2 - Steam: Douse a towel in hot water and place it over your face or hold your face over a bowl of hot water with a towel draped over your head for 5-10 minutes. This helps open your pores and soften dead skin cells.

Step 3 - Exfoliate: Exfoliate skin with Ayur Herbals’ Strawberry Super Creamy Scrub. The AHAs in strawberries cleanse the skin of dead cells, rejuvenating damaged skin in the process. AHAs also gently exfoliate the under eye area, draining the lymphatic nodes there and unwrinkling the same. The salicylic acid found in strawberries fights off pimples and acne as it gently cleanses skin of impurities, unclogging pores and controlling excess sebum production in the process - thus, preventing future breakouts. It also helps in removing dead cells and tightening skin, leaving behind clean and firm skin. Environmental radicals such as stress, pollution, harmful UV rays and more cause oxidative stress to the skin. The ellagic acid in strawberries creates a photoprotective barrier in the skin, protecting your skin from UV damage and preventing collagen destruction.

Step 4 - Mask: Use Ayur Herbals’ Papaya Face Pack to rejuvenate skin. One of the key anti-aging benefits of papaya comes from papain, a natural enzyme that promotes gentle exfoliation. Papaya is also rich in vitamin C, an essential nutrient for collagen synthesis. Allthemore, papaya’s vitamin A content plays a crucial role in skin regeneration and repair. Papaya also contains powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage. In addition to its rejuvenating properties, papaya helps maintain skin hydration.

Enriched with the extracts of mint, rose petals and aloe vera, this skin toner cleanses skin of impurities, unclogging pores and imparting a cooling sensation, following which open pores constrict. It cleanses away excess oil, preventing acne and other blemishes, while its mint contents also treat skin infections. It also bestows a protective skin barrier that hydrates skin, restores balance and maintains pH.

Step 6 - Moisturise: Finish off with Ayur Herbals’ Moisturiser with Vitamin E.
