The eponymous beauty line, RANAVAT Botanics was founded by Michelle Ranavat as a way for her to carry on the tradition of her Indian heritage and bring that to the greater public. Most people outside of Southeast Asia are unfamiliar with Ayurveda, the ancient healing and wellness traditions of India, and Michelle wanted to find a way for it to reach more people internationally.
She created RANAVAT products using concepts and ingredients commonly found in Ayurveda and made them easy to use in your daily life as creams, facial polishes, mists, serums, and more. The ingredients in particular were highly important since Ayurveda relies on natural, potent botanicals and has maintained this throughout the centuries. Michelle took this knowledge and applied it to creating a highly luxurious, almost regal line of products that manages to make even a nightly skincare routine feel exciting like you are pampering yourself. Embracing this concept, we wanted to create our own at-home spa day using products from RANAVAT Botanics. When combined with your ordinary skincare routine, all of these products can create a super luxurious experience that feels like a special treat.
Masque Up
When used as recommended, once or twice a week, the Flawless Veil Resurfacing Saffron Masque can help to visibly brighten the complexion and make it look more radiant and healthy. It features a carefully formulated blend of fruit enzymes and acids to exfoliate the skin, alongside the star ingredient saffron, which targets hyperpigmentation.
Other ingredients like turmeric and aloe vera step in to keep the skin calm while being exfoliated and hydrated. Your skin looks and feels softer and more hydrated by the end of this quick masking treatment. Once you finish with this step, you can immediately see a difference in your complexion and feel the difference as you touch your cheek.
Gently Massage the Face
Time for a gentle, soothing massage. The RANAVAT Kansa Wand can help you to get much more out of this experience than if you were to go in with just your hands. The Kansa Wand can help you to get much more out of your nightly ritual by boosting circulation and reducing puffiness, especially around the eyes where many of us notice it shows the most. It also serves to plump up the face, giving it a fuller, more youthful appearance, softening and firming fine lines.
Much like the rest of the RANAVAT Botanics line, the Kansa Wand takes its inspiration from ancient Ayurvedic practices that have been proven effective throughout thousands of years of use. Kansa, a metal made from copper and tin, was originally used in dining ware because it was found to purify drinking water and neutralize acidity in food for better digestion. Eventually, this metal found its way into the beauty realm as a tool for aiding in massages.
This sort of beauty tool can even be traced back farther than the jade roller. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this beauty tool is that it is so accessible and easy to use. Simply apply a light layer of serum to the skin for added benefits and to make the wand glide across the skin more smoothly, then swipe it across your face gently in small circles around the eyes.
Michelle recommends moving around the eye socket and upwards to the forehead in figure-eight motions, then finishing up with upward gestures along the jawline. It is such a simple act, but taking the few minutes to add this step can make such a difference in your mood and in the appearance of your skin over time as well.
Hydrate Your Hands
Moisturizing your hands is a step that far too many of us neglect in the evening when it is actually the perfect time to let our hands soak up the extra hydration without disruption. This is a particularly beneficial step for those who have to wash their hands often throughout the day or use hand sanitizer frequently. If left uncared for, your hands could dry out, become cracked and uncomfortable, and even show signs of aging sooner in time. Apply a healthy layer of the Sacred Rose Hand Cream at night and allow the nourishing oils like sweet almond and manjistha to sink into the skin completely.
Applying your skincare products can become much more than a utilitarian routine if you take the right steps to treat and pamper yourself using healthy, nutrient-rich products like the RANAVAT Botanics line.
