Lifestyle Suggestions for Brides to be

Begin with some healthy lifestyle changes. Fine tune your diet well in advance, to prepare for the stressful days ahead. Include Ashwagandha in your diet, to increase vitality, energy, endurance, stamina, and strengthen the immune as well as metabolic system. It is also known to calm the mind and promote sound, restful sleep, which you might be missing out on due to mental or physical strain that comes with being a bride!

Staying hydrated with water is essential but go one step ahead by preparing some Fennel Water. Immerse Fennel seeds in warm water or steep them overnight in cold water, then warm preferably in a copper jar which adds its own nutrients to the water, and sip throughout the day. Fennel seeds or Saunf are a powerhouse of metabolism boosting nutrients and necessary vitamins and minerals, which can not only assist you in shedding some pounds but also enhance immunity, uplift mood, and finally improve the overall texture of your skin.

Yoga is the ultimate way to mould the best version of yourself in time for your wedding day. Sign up for Asthanga yoga for a structured and challenging yet extremely rewarding routine, to increase stamina, flexibility and mindfulness.

Skincare

Devote 10 minutes a day to one of Grandma’s favourite natural nuskhe – Ubtans. The Forest Essentials Soundarya Ubtan is made with a nutritious melange of 52 finely ground herbs, flowers and root powders to create a powerful exfoliating treatment that stimulates the underlying tissues of the skin. With its revitalizing, refreshing & refining actions, regular usage of this Ubtan gives a naturally clear and even toned complexion, prevents the occurrence of premature fine lines, and improves skin texture. Use the Ubtans with fresh cream, if dry skin, and fresh yogurt, if you have oily skin, as mixers to create a paste.

For a beautiful Nikhaar or radiant glow to show by the days closer to your wedding, begin using the Forest Essentials Tejasvi Emulsion once or twice each week. An award winning Ayurvedic skin lightening emulsion, this is specially formulated by combining pure cow’s Ghee along with selected Ayurvedic herbs, which when applied, melts into the skin and penetrates deep within to give extraordinary nourishment, radiance and a plumped quality known as “Tejas”. Massage in for 20-30 minutes whenever you have time to relax.

Body Care

Make yourself a mini spa at home with two of our most loved bath and body care products Forest Essentials duo of Sandalwood and Turmeric Body Polisher, and Bengal Tuberose Bath and Shower Oil, each week from now onwards. Begin a full body exfoliation with the Body Polisher. Enriched with raw cane sugar, pure cold-pressed oils and a unique blend of Ayurvedic herbs and spices like Turmeric, Sandalwood, Ashwagandha and Gokharu; the polisher gently removes dead cells, rejuvenates skin cells, deeply penetrates the skin to detoxify and re-energize the skin’s layers within to impart a youthful, tan-free, smooth and radiant look on the surface above. Top it off by gently massaging the Bengal Tuberose Essential Oil infused, Bath & Shower Oil for an all over glow.Light a hand rolled Agarbatti or Incense with a pure natural fragrance to de-stress and revive.

Indulge yourself with your favourite Forest Essentials Cold-Pressed Black Organic Sesame Body massage Oil or maybe the Rose & Geranium Body Massage oil if you’re a Rose addict? Both contain highly concentrated and fragrant oils, present in very minute quantities in plants (or in the case of the latter- in the Rose from the Indian city of Kannauj).A few drops of the precious Ayurvedic Essential Oils are added to the base oils of Black Sesame and Sweet Almond, which enhance their therapeutic and healing properties. A warm massage with the oil, flushes toxins from the body as well as tones and relaxes the muscles.A massage every week nourishes and adds lustre to the skin.

Hair Care

It is important to keep your hair and scalp fresh. Build up of dirt, sweat and grime will only make your hair more prone to dandruff, by clogging your hair follicles. The scalp feels oily and most often than not, also leads to frequent hair fall and frizz. May we suggest washing your hair every alternate day or as and when your scalp feels oily, to keep a check on your scalp’s health. Use natural hair cleansers and conditioners that do not strip your scalp’s natural moisture, like the Amla, Honey & Mulethi Hair Cleanser.

Our Ayurveda Expert recommends not pulling on your hair while drying them with a towel, to avoid excessive hair fall. Always comb your hair once you have air dried them as combing them wet can increase hair fall. You can also use the Bhringraj & Shikakai Hair Vitalizer for improved scalp health.
