More Beauty News from India.....

Rrrrrright, listen up ladies, I've discovered another brilliant beauty find. This range is seriously good but it's not available in the UK - you'll have to order it online which I strongly suggest you do. I'm in lurve with it and the products I've tried so far have more than exceeded my expectations.

Sadly I cant' take all the credit for this...my dear friend Reji - owner of Reji's Beauty Parlour in Varkala (Kerala) recommended the BIOTIQUE range so you have her to thank. Regi, who I've written about before on my blog, is in my opinion the oracle when it comes to Ayurvedic beauty products available on the market in India. She's worked in the beauty industry for years, born and bred in Kerala (home of Ayurveda) so has been surrounded by the benefits of the philosophy all her life. She's the font of all knowledge in terms of Indian beauty products so if she says try something, I'm on to it quick smart. No questions.

I'm feeling pretty smug about that fact I've met such a brilliant beauty authority in such far found location. In fact (cue opportunity to brag) I now have two beauty gurus whom I call upon in times of need...some people have spiritual gurus, I have beauty gurus: Anastasia Achiellos in London who is arguably the best facialist on the planet - a session with her and your skin looks incredible...reiki, massage, general sheer brilliance combined with a lot of know-how and she literally changes the shape of your face. Good bye lines, cherrio wrinkles and hello looking better than ever. And now I've met Reji who is probably the best beauty therapist in Kerala. Now I know that's a bold statement but believe me I've hunted around the state and if you want a decent facial - I actually gave her a brief to 'make me look 10 years younger' and while she's no mirical worker her Papaya facial is definitely heading in the right direction. Anyway, enough bragging from me - back to the Biotique range.

Bit of background: Ayurveda is literally translated as the ‘Science of Life’. 5000 years ago the Ancient Sages who founded Ayurveda, discovered that plants and plant extracts had a startling effect on skin and hair. According to Ayurveda the powers of nature - the Heat of the Sun, Light, Air, Water, Minerals and Plant substances have immense therapeutic value and play an important part in leading a healthy, fulfilled and aware life.

The Ayurvedic Sages had the ability to control aging. The Sages were expert biotechnologists and practiced yoga and meditation to achieve health and good looks throughout life. They developed potent herbal remedies for prevention and treatment of disease. Modern Science is each day discovering the benefits about the substances found in nature and the long historical tradition of its role in health and beauty.

I've tried the Honey Dew mosituriser, under eye cream and Papaya facial scrub and to be honest my skin is now behaving the way it's supposed to. Or rather the way I like it to. All I need to do now is kick the fags but having said that despite smoking over 20 dirty, filthy fags a day the range is still working wonders so it must be good!

Personally what I love about this arrange, aside from the fact it actually works, is that it doesn't contain harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances or artificial preservatives. Biotique does not conduct cruel tests on animals and all Biotique preparations are environmentally friendly and bio-degradable. A skincare range which does what it says is does and gives you peace of mind - who'd have thought?

Have a look on http://biotique.com - you may have to contact distributors direct. It's a bit of leg work but I promise it's worth it. Enjoy!
