Beauty always adds an inner confidence. To regain their attitude and confidence people madly run behind many cosmetic brands. But nowadays, fear of cosmetic toxicity makes people go natural. Ayurveda cosmetic products gained market value in this. But the misleading market name “organic” doesn’t always mean “Ayurveda”. There are plenty of products available in the market named as organic or ayurveda. When we check out the ingredient box, we can see many hidden harmful chemicals used in that product manufacturing.
It is always best to use homemade products for your skin, as you know the cosmetic sense of your skin and the person whom you can better trust is yourself only.
