The inspiration for behind Som Rasa Silk Skin Tints

‘Roop nikhaarna’ is a traditional Indian practice that dates back to older civilizations of Mohenjodaro and Harappa. It is said that the people of this era had highly advanced ideas of self-beautification and offered large display of cosmetic usages both by men and women. Many of these makeup routine practices were subtly interwoven with the seasons and normal rituals of life, known Ritus and Dinacharyā in Ayurveda.

Ancient Indian women knew exactly how to accentuate their natural features using natural ingredients. The natural makeup products used during this period looked nothing like ready-made, fancy jars and tubes, but were the bright, colourful mixtures hand-crafted from the raw materials found in the gardens and their kitchen. Women used the powder of crushed Hibiscus petals as blush. They often used to mix it with Coconut Oil for easy application, which was and still is a widely used ingredient for makeup and skincare. These natural elements helped to gracefully enhance natural attributes.

It was later that contemporary brands introduced chemical infused cosmetics, to enhance complexions, while the role of makeup and facial adornment had always been to not just cover up imperfections and beautify but to also alleviate skin concerns.

What are the benefits of this skin tint?

Available in four shades, this complexion enhancing Silk Skin Tint adapts to your underlying cool or warm tones. With a weightless finish and buildable coverage, this daily wearable formula can be used to naturally enhance your complexion with as little or as much coverage you prefer.

How to understand the undertone of your skin?

The hue that reflects from underneath the skin signifies a person’s skin tone. A fresh, healthy and blushed complexion suggests higher level of circulation and more oxygen in the skin.

Cooler skin undertone

If the overall complexion of a person has more blue, pink and red hues, then the suggested undertone is ‘cool’.

Warmer skin undertone

If there are more yellow, peach and golden hues, then the undertone is considered ‘warm’.

Neutral skin undertone

People who do not have cool or warm undertones are said to have neutral undertones.

How is a skin tint different from a foundation?

Skin tints are lightweight formulations that provide hydration along with sheer coverage and radiance on your face. On the other hand, foundations even out your skin tone with heavy coverage to hide all the imperfections.
