Why I went the all-Natural Route!!

 I am a self-confessed beauty products addict. I love to try various skin and hair products. I always used to get lured by beautiful packaging and heady fragrances. I would end up spending thousands of rupees on buying the newest hair or skin care product in the shopping aisles. My dresser would look like a mini mall hoarding these pretty looking bottles promising glowing skin or smoothest hair.

But it all changed a year back, last year I started to see small red patches on my neck and arms. It was scary to see these blotches turn up over night and slowly start increasing. I rushed to my dermatologist, I soon discovered that it was an allergic reaction to certain chemicals present in my shampoo and conditioner. I was shocked to realize that the beauty products I always fancied and loved using can have such harmful effects.

I started reading more on the chemicals present in hair care products. It was quite a rude shock to find out that most of the big glossy and glamorous brands use tons of harmful chemicals. Chemicals like

• Sulfates

• Siloxanes

• Propylene Glycol

• Derivatives of Lauryl Alcohol

• Olefin Sulfonate

Not only these chemicals can be bad for your hair and skin but they can cause following adverse effects as well:

-          Allergies: Harsh chemicals in hair care and styling products can cause breakouts on your skin, rashes on scalp, itching, burning sensation and even discolouration of skin at times.

-          Effects on overall Health: Absorption of these chemicals can affect our overall health in the long run and cause dire conditions like breast and skin cancer.

-          Bad for the environment: The remnants of these chemicals wash away into our water bodies causing severe water pollution, as these chemicals are non- biodegradable.

Given the above reasons I have vowed to never use any products other than natural skin and hair care products. But you have to be careful while choosing the right natural products. Don’t go by marketing gimmicks that brand products natural, organic or herbal. Check the ingredient list thoroughly, as many times there are nasty chemicals hiding in the fine print.

While going all natural I discovered a great all natural ‘Hair Fitness’ brand called Nature Nuskha. Nature Nuskha is a truly natural brand as their motto is “Nurture through Nature” they have researched extensively with the natural blend of herbal extracts and oils.  They are a holistic, one-stop solutions derived from the power of nature are essential to solving modern hair problems in a fast-paced world.

Their 24x7 Hair Fitness combo is a game changer for my hair care routine. I do not have tens of products crowding my shelves any more. I use their Hair fitness oil before every hair wash and use their Onion Hair Mist after towel drying my hair. I have trashed all styling gels and serums after seeing the effects of this hair mist. It is such a light and nourishing formulation it doesn’t weigh down your hair and still keeps it protected. My hair is growing thicker and has much better texture than ever. All this without any side effects, I definitely recommend going all natural and try brands like Nature Nuskha that are true to their word.
