Our skin may come in different colours, but its biology is universal. It's a timeless design and architecture that reminds us of our shared humanity.

As the most visible organ of our body, our skin represents us profoundly - more than our clothes and accessories. It would be wise to nourish its natural health so it radiates wellbeing and confidence rather than merely covering up its flaws.

Applying oil on the face, body, hair & scalp is a self-care ritual that spans centuries. Ayurvedic texts say oils are not optional - oils are essential. They are sacred. They are essential to maintain the skin’s natural elasticity

In fact oiling the skin was a daily essential of the royals across many ancient cultures not just for a radiant skin but for longevity as well. With the growing awareness of natural skin care in Europe, oils are regaining their place in daily skin rituals.

Oils have multiple roles beyond moisturising, some of which are

• Nourish the skin and underlying tissues
• Promote circulation and lymphatic drainage through massage
• Detoxify and remove metabolic waste
• Calm the nervous system; reduce stress and anxiety
• Carry medicinal herbs into the skin, enhancing absorption of herbal actives

Shankara’s oils are made for the European lifestyle, weather and seasons. They are non-sticky, feather-light and fragrant enough to calm the mind and nourish the skin  - Skincare that in many ways serves as aromatherapy, you could say. 

In the age of algorithms, our skin plays a more significant role in our personal brand.

Maybe it’s worth your time and money to embrace the ancient in modern times.
