Signs of aging often appear as inflammation before you notice wrinkles and fine lines. In our quest for youthful looking skin, we decided to try two Ayurvedic skin care products that promise to firm, sculpt and rejuvenate the skin. Here’s what our one-week journey with Kama Ayurveda looked like.of The new Amarrupa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream and Amarrupa Facial Oil. What we’re trying to do with this week’s trial is to see if they can solve our skin care woes, if not miracles, then at least make a difference.
Concerns: Dehydration, dullness, fine lines, early signs of aging, lack of firmness.
Day 1: First impressions
We started our day with Amarpa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream, infused with plant-derived hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica. The cream has a luxurious, velvety texture that instantly hydrates and leaves skin feeling bouncy. In the evening, we paired it with Amarpa Facial Oil, a blend of Ayurvedic botanicals. These two oils are said to nourish and soothe the skin. Let’s hope!
Day 3: Signs of improvement
By the third day, I noticed a noticeable reduction in puffiness and an overall smoother skin texture. I also used a Kansa Wand, a traditional Ayurvedic massage tool, to massage my face. This self-care tool helps increase blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping you get one step closer to younger-looking, firmer skin.
Day 5: Deep hydration and firmness
By mid-week, my skin felt firmer and more deeply hydrated. The cream’s Centella Asiatica supports natural collagen synthesis, plumping and making skin look younger. The anti-inflammatory facial oil keeps skin soothed and nourished, reducing redness and inflammation.
Day 7: Glowing, youthful skin
By the end of the week, my skin was glowing and visibly younger looking. The combination of anti-aging cream and oil was starting to have the desired effect. Over time, I’m sure I’ll see a slight reduction in fine lines, an improvement in skin texture, and even firmness.
One of the standout features of this skincare duo is its use of plant-derived active ingredients. The plant-derived hyaluronic acid in Amarrupa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream provides intense hydration, firming the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while ingredients such as Centella Asiatica and Carrot Seed Oil provide powerful anti-ageing benefits, boosting skin vitality and elasticity.
According to renowned Ayurvedic physician Dr. Aruna, inflammation is often the first sign of aging. “Inflammation leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which contributes to wrinkles and sagging skin,” she explains. Formulated with anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic herbs, Amarpa Facial Oil combats this early sign of aging and promotes calm, balanced skin.
Here’s how to incorporate these two effective anti-aging ingredients into your skincare routine.
1. PM routines: We recommend adding 2-3 drops of Amarpa Facial Oil before your moisturizer for added hydration and repair.
2. Daily Boost: When I need an extra boost, I sometimes mix a drop or two of the oil into my morning moisturizer.
3. Intensive care: Another great way to use the oil is to use it as a mask twice a week, leaving it on for 15 minutes and gently removing any excess – this gives the ingredients a little time to absorb into your skin and work their magic.
After a week of using the Amarrupa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream and Facial Oil, I am convinced that these two are game-changers for anyone looking to naturally combat the signs of aging. With the power of plant-based active ingredients and original Ayurvedic recipes, achieving youthful, radiant skin has never been easier. Add in lymphatic drainage with the Kantha Wand, which also contains copper and tin, known for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, to complete the golden trifecta that will dramatically improve your skin. Try it for yourself and see the difference.
