Reviews
At first, the products left my skin feeling dry and tight, but I learned this was part of the detox process. After giving my skin time to adjust and following a consistent routine, I noticed deep hydration, balance, and a radiant glow. The soothing fragrance became a relaxing part of my evening ritual, and a little product goes a long way—three months in, and I still have plenty left! Now, Shankara’s skincare is a must-have for me - the results are amazing!
My Shankara regimen:
Morning: Brightening Serum & Hydrating Moisturiser
Evening: Eye Cream & I alternate Gheesutra Emulsion & Kumkumadi Oil daily.
Had minimal skin peeling on my chin which stopped after 4 days. My skin now has less blemishes, almost as if my ‘not so good’ skin peeled off & revealed a new lighter, brighter & smooth skin!Dark circles around my eyes reduced to a shade lighter too!
Results of these high quality & natural Shankara products are fast, effective & visible. Love it!
Gheesutra literally feels like whipped butter on my skin. It has restored moisture and an even tone to my combination/dry/sun burned skin… and its indulgent fragrance is a bonus!
Pigmentation, enlarged pores, and lack of plumpness were my problem areas.
After eight nights, of using the Kumkumadi oil, alternating with Gheesutra face emulsion,my skin showed visible changes.
All three areas of concern, showed improvement.
I found the products easy to use,and the richness of this natural based product worked excellently on my skin,especially in this extremely cold winter weather.
Thank you!
