Rave’s skin and hair care treatments

In today’s world it has become an undeniable fact that everyone wants to look good and presentable. It not only gives a good and positive first impression but also boosts one’s confidence. Much of the trends around looking good and glamorous can be attributed to social media. For the same reason, it's fast changing and global.

Good looks have been considered beneficial in one’s personal and professional life, as people who take care of their looks are perceived to be more approachable and confident. Someone who carries a good appearance also carries a higher possibility of building better relationships with clients, colleagues, and potential partners.

Moreover, when one takes care of their appearance, it results in satisfaction which indeed gives them a feel good factor, higher self-esteem, and happiness leading to better mental health. There is a common myth that good appearances can be made only by people who are fair or who have a good physique. This is not true. People who are fair and physically fit too have their own insecurities regarding their looks. Looking good goes beyond all that and is applicable to all irrespective of one's gender, physique, skin tone et al.

It is also crucial to remember that looking good does not always mean adhering to the societal norms of beauty standards. Each individual has their unique style and should embrace it with confidence.

India and looks

In India, hair and skin care are the pivotal components of self grooming. Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha are traditional Indian medical and lifestyle practices that place a strong emphasis on using natural medicines for these goals. Herbs, oils, and other all-natural ingredients such as neem, turmeric, amla, coconut oil and henna have a long history of use in Ayurveda, in particular, for skin and hair care.

The rising demand and the ease of access to modern cosmetics in recent years has resulted in the increased amount of anti-ageing and skin brightening procedures and techniques. As modern cosmetology and dermatology practices have become increasingly popular in the urban areas, the salons have started offering treatments such as facials, hair spas, laser hair removal and many more that augments the looks of everyone who takes up these services.

Before we delve into the modern skin care techniques that are in trend now, let's have a sneak peak into traditional skin care practices and how it has evolved to what skin care means now.

Traditional Skin Care

Skin care routines practised in India to maintain healthy and radiant skin, have a long history. The following are some of the most well known and widely practised skin care procedures in India:

Ayurvedic skincare: A great variety of illnesses and skin conditions have been cured by the traditional ayurvedic treatments. Herbs, oils, and other organic components are used in ayurvedic skincare to cleanse, moisturise, and revitalise the skin.

Treatment with haldi (turmeric): In addition to being a common spice in Indian cuisine, turmeric is used in a variety of skincare products and in various ways. It is used as a face pack, to improve skin health in general besides being used to reduce inflammation and pigmentation of the skin.

Ubtan Treatment: Ubtan is made by combining a variety of herbs and organic components. The paste form of ubtan is meant to enhance skin texture, brighten it up and aid in the removal of dead skin cells. It is applied to the skin and kept on for a short period of time before being washed off.

Treatment with sandalwood: For centuries, aromatic sandalwood has been a vital part of the skin care regime. It eliminates pigmentation, alleviates irritation, and enhances the texture of the skin. Sandalwood paste is applied directly on the skin.

Traditional Hair Care

Maintaining healthy and attractive hair requires a great deal of care and effort. It is everyone's wish to have luscious damage free hair. Not to forget what all of us dread the most - hair fall or hair loss.

Hair treatments and care differ for each person and that is the most difficult part to crack. Understanding one’s hair texture and scalp type is crucial to understand what sort of treatment would work best for an individual. Here are a few examples of traditional hair treatment across the world:

Coconut Oil: In the tropical regions where coconuts are abundant, coconut oil is one of the most popular hair treatments in many cultures.

Henna: Henna is believed to strengthen hair, prevent dandruff, and promote hair growth. It is a plant-based dye that has been used for centuries in India, the Middle East, and Africa to colour hair.

Eggs: One of the easiest yet effective hair treatments across cultures, eggs are proven to nourish hair, prevent hair loss, and promote hair growth.
