Hair fall, early greying and itchy, dandruff-prone hair are becoming more and more prevalent in women. A large contributing factor to these hair conditions is exposure to harsh chemicals which compromise the hair follicles. One may encounter these chemicals in haircare products containing SLS chemicals, parabens, petrochemicals and other harmful substances. Further, the quality of water used to wash one’s hair plays an imperative role in its appearance. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you a simple tip to promote healthy hair by ensuring that the water you wash your hair with is clean and of the best quality possible. Often, changes in one’s environment such as moving to a new country and experiencing different quality off water can cause excess hair loss. Using a chlorine filter in the shower can help prevent this and promote healthy hair. This filter is small and extremely easy to install and use. Furthermore, follow up with a natural, time-tested ingredients-based haircare routine to take continuous and proper care of your hair. In addition to this tip, Apsara’s Rosemary and Amla haircare set is free of harsh chemicals, gentle and effective in improving the quality and natural glow of your hair.

Antioxidants are compounds that slow down free radical damage that is going to our skin, hair or scalp. In this day, we are exposed to harsh chemicals on a daily basis, often resulting from environmental factors such as pollution. The increasing free radical damage in women attributes to early greying, rapid aging and hair loss. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will provide you with information on the importance of antioxidants and how to implement them into your daily skincare routine. Some foods that are rich in antioxidants are organic produce, as well as many fruits and vegetables. Further, adequate intake of Vitamin C and E are essential. Some sources of vitamin C are citrus and cucumber, while sources of Vitamin E include almond oil (used in many Apsara products) and dark chocolate, which also contains polyphenols. The Vitamin C Skin Glow serum is an Apsara product that is full of antioxidants and extremely beneficial towards slowing down free radical damage to your skin. The ROOP Saffron potion and the ROOP night serum - its nightly counterpart - are equally as antioxidant-rich due to the abundance of saffron in the products.   Take the skin quiz to help us find the best Apsara products for your skin type or concern.

Discoloration of the skin is evident with darker or lighter markings on the skin as compared to the usual color of the skin. The pigment melanin is responsible for the color of our skin, which is why fluctuations in pigmentation can be attributed to increases or decreases in melanin. This causes discoloration and often dark spots as well, which are prevalent skin issues faced by many women.  In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you 10 useful tips to reduce the discoloration of your skin. While minimizing skin exposure and avoiding tanning beds are imperative, having a natural, time-tested ingredients-based skincare routine will help you maintain a constant practice to reduce discoloration. Natural ingredients such as tomato paste and papaya supplement the skincare routine and can increase the antioxidant levels of the skin while providing repair and damage control. Other useful ingredients include green tea and coffee, which have excellent antioxidant properties, and aloe vera gel for its hydrating moisturizers. You can find home remedies containing these ingredients on our blog at www.apsaraskincare.com. In addition to these remedies, the Sandalwood Natural Facial Serum is designed to aid in sun protection, which makes it a valuable necessity - especially in the summer. Sandalwood itself is known to have skin calming, soothing and sun protection properties. Take the skin quiz to help us find the best Apsara products for your skin type or concern.

In Ayurveda, the health of the digestive system is everything. It is the foundation upon which the health of your skin and hair is built. Along with this comes the importance of gut health. Gut toxicity builds up over a period of time due to poor lifestyle choices and food pollution, amongst other reasons. Once a particular threshold of toxicity is reached, an intense toll is taken upon your general health and the health of your skin and hair. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will discuss some important lifestyle errors that you may be making unintentionally. For example, eating food with excess growth hormones, pesticides, flavor enhancers and color may lead to nutrition deficiencies.  In one case, protein synthesis suffers due to a zinc deficiency. Paying attention and actively working to combat them will help you decrease your gut toxicity and improve your overall health. An Apsara product that also aids in reducing the outward appearance of gut toxicity on the skin, is the Sandalwood Facial Serum.

Combination skin is characterized by skin that may be oil in some areas, but dry or normal in others. It is effectively a ‘combination’ of different skin types. Although establishing skincare practices for this skin type may sound difficult, Apsara has multiple DIY remedies and product recommendations for individuals to use in an effort to combat both blackhead eruptions and issues that come with taking care of combination skin.   In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you a simple home remedy to balance out combination skin. The remedy prominently features Fuller’s Earth (also known as Multani Mitti in Hindi), nutmeg powder and tomato juice. Fuller’s Earth acts as a detoxifier which also reduces the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads, and decongests clogged pores. On the other hand, nutmeg has anti-inflammatory, skin-pacifying properties while tomato juice is an important source of vitamin C – an anti-oxidant which aids in free radical damage repair. The remedy can be used once a week and should be followed up with an adequate toner, serum or lotion afterwards. In addition to the remedy, the Neem Facial Cleanser is designed to balance out combination skin and like all Apsara products, contains no harsh chemicals.

Blackheads are formed when hair follicles within the skin become clogged and produce excess oil, which results in a bump-like formation. Further, air exposure can cause the bump to turn black over time. Reducing blackheads and acne is of utmost importance in order to clear the skin and produce a glow. Washing and cleansing the face regularly can result in acne and blackhead-free skin. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you a home remedy that helps diminish blackhead eruptions. This remedy contains only three ingredients – rice flour, baking soda and the most essential ingredient: tomato. As this remedy contains very few ingredients that are both accessible and well-performing, it is an ideal method of reducing blackheads on the face.

Vitamin C is known to have numerous skin benefits. Aside from popular usage in protecting the skin from sunlight and UV rays, its antioxidant properties protect the cells against free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that are produced during metabolism and show up as dark spots, wrinkles, lines, under-eye circles and acne on the skin. In addition to clearing up the skin, Vitamin C helps with exfoliation and establishes a natural facial glow. In this episode of the podcast, Sheetal will share with you the benefits of Vitamin C and the usefulness of this ingredient. It is primarily a calming antioxidant with good hydrating properties, that helps reduce anti inflammation and eliminate common skin conditions that show up on the skin, such as spots, wrinkles and even hyperpigmentation. In return, regular use of skincare products that contain Vitamin C, will result in firmer skin and the fortification of the skin’s natural immune system. Apsara’s newest launch contains the Ayurvedic Vitamin C Natural Glow Serum, which embodies all these properties and helps amplify the glow and clarity of the skin. It is to be used after a cleanser and toner every morning and night, for the highest quality performance. If you’re listening on iTunes, make sure to review us and subscribe.
