Why go natural?
Neha Ahuja, an Ayurveda expert and founder of Kaashi Wellness, expounds on the benefits of using makeup made from natural ingredients. Along with a range of skincare products, they offer a make-up remover called Klean with natural ingredients such as apricot oil and rosewater that makes a perfect addition to your clean beauty kit.

>> Natural make-up allows your skin to breathe despite a layer of tinted moisturisers, powder blush and cheek tints as these ingredients are extremely gentle on our skin. If you reside in polluted cities, it is essential to choose breathable products.
>> Ingredients used are natural and include non-carcinogenic pigments, reducing the risk of cancer. They also reduce the risk of pigmentation and skin allergies.
>> Such products also provide natural hydration and glow because of the ingredient composition and by boosting cellular function. The natural minerals generally provide a certain level of sun protection as well. Natural makeup made with flowers and natural clay are rich in antioxidants like Vitamin C. Long-term effects can include better moisturisation for the skin, cell regeneration and an overall healthier skin.
>> Parabens, chemicals and artificial fragrances can have long-term effects on the skin, which can be avoided by using natural products. Such products do not hamper skin structure since they use ingredients that are naturally present in the skin.
