About Skin Care

Organic skin care built from clays, flowers and herbs, the way Indian skincare worked before it came in bottles. Single-ingredient powders you mix fresh, so nothing needs preservatives.

Find Your Skin Type First

Most skincare goes wrong because people buy for a skin type they do not have.

Two Mistakes Worth Avoiding

Letting a clay mask dry rock-hard. Rinse while it is still slightly damp. Fully dried clay pulls moisture out and leaves skin tight and irritated.

Using citrus before sun exposure. Lemon peel causes photosensitivity. Use it in the evening, or you get patchy darkening instead of brightening, which is why people say lemon "ruined" their skin.

How Often

Once or twice a week for face packs. Not daily, over-exfoliating damages the skin barrier, and clays are absorbent.
