After this post, you would be sure that i am concentrating on Anti Ageing Solutions....Yes I am.
But its a Body Care product this time. I have been facing this winter dryness since years...inherited from my Mom. Itchy dry skin is a big problem...although my facial skin keeps on changing with climate but my body, i always needed something hydrating and nourishing.
Chasing for organic and natural formulations, i was ready to experiment with Body Oils.
My First Trial with a Body Oil- From Aura Vedic.
So today I will share my experience with Aura Vedic Age Repair Firming Oil

* Grapeseed oil is an all-natural moisturizer that can work wonders on your skin, whether you are dealing with acne, aging or rough spots
* Avocado Extract : Protein and Fats. Avocado oil contains a high amount of proteins and unsaturated fats, both of which are strong skin agents. Avocado oil actually contains omega-3 fatty acids - those very same fatty acids as found in fish oil.
* Sterolin. Avocado oil is high in a substance called sterolin, known for softening of skin and age spots reduction
* Antioxidants. Avocado oil is rich in antioxidants, making it useful for healing sun-damaged skin. Antioxidants like vitamins A, D and E in avocado cause the skin to be suppler, and are thus particularly good for dry or aged skin.
* Moisturize the Skin. Avocado oil applied topically helps relieve dry and itchy skin. Once applied, avocado oil is deeply absorbed by the skin, thus making it an ideal moisturizer and skin care agent.
* Papaya Extract - the papain enzyme of papaya-has the ability to remove damaged skin cells, improving the skin texture
* olive leaf extract is used for every day antioxidant support
* Rice Bran Extract is a natural botanical rich in antioxidants, vitamins and moisturizers to help nourish and moisturize the skin

SO you can see an impressive list of Natural Ingredients. Also quite affordable looking into the quantity.
Simple but attractive pack. Packed in transparent plastic bottle with a metal screw cap and inner cap to protect from spillage. I would preferred a pump dispenser as its easy to pump out the required quantity.
Light Yellow colored oil with a strong floral mixed herb smell. But its good as it lingers on for the day and gives a refreshing feel even in winters. Texture in not thick like a saturated oil but its little thick for Face ( atleast for combination/oily skinned ones).
In the excitement to try, i straight away applied this on my face for 1-2 days and got severe pimples. I think i should have waited used in little mixes. Later I gave up thought of applying on face till the pimples subsides completely.
My final trial was when i made a small batch of body oil mixing little amount of coconut oil, Olive Oil and Tea Tree oil (all not more 20%) with Aura Vedic Age Repair Oil.
Voila....I had an amazing concoction which imparted Hydration and glow to my body all day long. You can apply it with massaging pre-bath or post bath on damp skin. Its absorbed immediately and I have seen improvement in my skin texture since then. Moreover people having problem of body odour can also use this to address the issue.
Now, i am planning to use this in drops (to start with 1-2) for face and would soon get back to you with my experience.
Overall Nice Vegan formulation. Good for Dry Skin and Oily/Combination skin people can give it a try. (but with a patch test)
Have You ever tried Aura Vedic Oils? Which one is your Favourite?
