This is one of the very first things that comes to the mind when you hear the name "INDIA" India is known for its amazing history and mythology. India is the home
of many herbs and medicinal plants. Using these, our ancestors found the famous Ayurveda.

There were solutions for almost all the diseases in ayurveda but I would like to focus more on the skincare. The modern world is full of pollution and the harmful UV rays from the Sun that damage our skin badly. We go to the doctor or a beautician for the quick remedies. I swear they give you medicines full of chemicals. But not so recently there have been many skincare brands coming out stating they are all natural and 100% organic. Before there weren't much popular but slowly people started believing the fact that the natural skincare is the best skincare. There are many products that have come up from the natural range but I still believe in DIY the same products. I am not that person who would spend thousands on the product that can be done at home in all natural method and the best part about DIY is that we know what we are adding in. 1. Turmeric
