Mud is making a big comeback in the world of natural skin care. The benefits of clay as a natural skin purifier and as an exfoliant are becoming more widely known. Pure mineral clay from India, combined with several Ayurvedic herbs famous for their anti-inflammatory properties, form the basis of the Tarika Ayurvedic natural skin care line.
Tarika Ayurvedic products are formulated in India based on traditional recipes. The company's founder was inspired to create the line after witnessing villagers in India bathing in mud and then applying oil to the skin. Through research and consultation with Ayurvedic physicians, the exact combinations of clays and herbs were created. The Tarika products are 100% natural, containing purified clays from riverbeds, ponds and valleys that are free of human or industrial pollution. The clays are cleaned and dried through a lengthy 30-45 day process and then combined with potent Ayurvedic medicinal herbs that cleanse, heal and naturally balance the skin.
Because the Tarika products treat all skin types, there is no need to decipher which of many products is best for you! There are four Tarika products in this system that you customize yourself. The Tarika products come in sealed packets as a powder that you then mix with either water, milk, or yogurt, depending on how much hydration you require. Use the Face Wash on a daily basis, the Radiant Facial for deeper cleansing as needed, and the Pimple Remover for problem areas. To deeply nourish the skin and smooth wrinkles, follow the cleansing with a few drops of the Day and Night Oil. Ayurvedic herbs steeped in oil act more effectively than most moisturizers to even skin tone and improve elasticity. Surprisingly, the oil is absorbed very quickly, and there is no oily residue at all!
One of the keys to healthy skin is regular removal of the superficial layer of dead skin cells. Without exfoliation, moisturizer can't be absorbed. Some exfoliant products can be very harsh and actually cause small tears in the skin. Tarika Face Wash is extremely gentle. Once you have mixed up the paste, you rub it onto your face with an upward, sweeping motion for 3-5 minutes. This self-massage awakens the facial muscles, removes dirt and toxins, and leaves the skin smooth and glowing. The Radiant Facial is applied the same way and then left on until dry. The Pimple Remover is also left on to dry, and has strong antiseptic and antifungal properties that reduce inflammation, remove toxins, and heal rashes and stings. The Pimple Remover is incredible as an alternative to harsh acne medications for teenagers with acne.
It is a pleasure to use such a simple skin care system. No matter what type of skin you have, no matter what climate you live in, no matter what age you are, Tarika Ayurvedic skin care products will benefit your skin and your spirit.
