Some things belong in the nostalgia box. 📦
Your skincare doesn’t have to. 😉
🟢 Dabur Amla / Hair Oils
Good for conditioning the hair, reducing dryness and improving shine. But hair oils will not treat the root cause of hair fall. Hair fall can be due to genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes or scalp conditions, and the cause needs to be treated accordingly.
🟡 Vicco Turmeric
Promoted as an Ayurvedic cream, but the exact concentration of its active ingredients is not clearly established. It is not proven to treat pigmentation, dullness or uneven skin tone, and for some skin types it can even make the skin feel dry. For these concerns, use the right depigmenting actives along with sunscreen.
🔵 BoroPlus
Can be useful for dry or chapped skin, but it will not treat tanning or pigmentation. If you are acne prone, heavy creams may also not be ideal for regular facial use. Use products that are meant for your specific skin concern.
⚪️ Talcum Powder
It can absorb moisture and make the skin feel dry and fresh, but it does not treat oily skin, acne or pigmentation. If your skin is already dry, frequent use can make it feel even drier.
Traditional ingredients like Multani mitti can definitely have their place, but skincare should not depend on nostalgia alone.
Know your skin concern, use the right actives, and keep the basics right. Cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen.
