Absolute Acne Defence Ritual for Clear, Balanced Skin Acne can be a challenging skin concern, affecting not only appearance but also confidence. Managing acne requires a thoughtful approach that targets bacteria, excess oil, and inflammation while providing gentle exfoliation and deep nourishment. This Absolute Acne Defense Ritual combines three powerful steps—a targeted astringent with anti-inflammatory benefits, a gentle exfoliating face scrub, and a deep nourishing moisturizer—to defend your skin against acne and leave it clear, balanced, and revitalized. This ritual uses Ayurvedic-inspired ingredients like Yashad Bhasma (Zinc Oxide), Neem (Indian Lilac), Kuth (Costus), Vrikshamla (Garcinia Indica), and Manjistha (Indian Madder) to bring natural healing to your skincare routine. Step 1: Anti-Acne Zinc Oxide & Glycolic Acid Face Wash Key Ingredients and Benefits Yashad Bhasma (Zinc Oxide) Zinc Oxide, or Yashad Bhasma, is a mineral-based ingredient known for its ability to calm and protect acne-prone skin. It helps reduce redness, controls excess oil, and provides a soothing effect on inflamed areas, making it an ideal ingredient for acne treatment. Neem (Indian Lilac) Neem has potent antibacterial and antifungal properties, which are essential for fighting acne-causing bacteria. It also contains antioxidants that help heal acne scars and prevent further breakouts, giving skin a clearer, healthier appearance. Kuth (Costus) Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, Kuth is known for its anti-inflammatory effects. It helps reduce the swelling and redness associated with acne, allowing the skin to recover faster. Vatankur (Banyan Tree Leaf Bud) Vatankur, or Banyan tree leaf bud, has natural astringent qualities that tighten pores and help control excess sebum. It helps maintain a balanced complexion, essential for acne-prone skin, by keeping pores clean and minimizing acne formation. How to Use Apply with a Cotton Pad: Pour a small amount of the astringent onto a cotton pad and gently sweep it across your face, focusing on areas prone to acne. Avoid Overuse: Use once daily to prevent dryness. Overuse of astringents can strip the skin, so it’s best to follow with a moisturizer. Follow with a Moisturizer: After allowing it to dry, follow up with a moisturizer to keep skin balanced and hydrated. Step 2: Tan Removal Vetiver & Orange Peel Scrub Exfoliation is key to unclogging pores, removing dead skin cells, and preventing acne. This gentle scrub includes Ayurvedic ingredients such as Vrikshamla (Garcinia Indica), Khus (Vetiver), Masar (Yellow Lentils), and Mulethi (Licorice) that work together to exfoliate, brighten, and revitalize the skin without irritation. Key Ingredients and Benefits Vrikshamla (Garcinia Indica) Vrikshamla is known for its ability to control oil and promote skin clarity. It helps reduce sebum production, a key factor in acne, and supports a smooth, even complexion. Khus (Vetiver) Vetiver has natural cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm irritated, acne-prone skin. It aids in reducing the appearance of blemishes and provides a refreshing sensation that leaves skin feeling clean and invigorated. Masar (Yellow Lentils) Masar is a gentle exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and reveals a brighter, smoother layer of skin beneath. It’s a natural source of vitamins and minerals that help improve skin texture and radiance. Ghritkumari (Aloe Vera) Aloe Vera, or Ghritkumari, provides hydration and has healing properties. It soothes inflamed skin, reduces redness, and keeps skin soft and balanced after exfoliation. Mulethi (Licorice) Licorice is known for its skin-brightening properties. It helps fade acne scars and discoloration, giving the skin a brighter, more even tone over time. Orange Peel and Lemon Peel Extracts Both orange and lemon peel extracts contain natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that help exfoliate and brighten the skin. They also provide vitamin C, which supports collagen production and enhances skin radiance. How to Use Gently Massage on Damp Skin: After cleansing, apply a small amount of the scrub to damp skin and gently massage in circular motions for about 1-2 minutes. Rinse with Warm Water: Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Frequency: Use this exfoliating scrub 2-3 times per week to keep skin clear and prevent buildup without over-exfoliating. Step 3: Oil Balancing Sandalwood & Licorice Moisturizer The final step in this acne defense ritual is a deeply nourishing moisturizer that hydrates and restores the skin barrier. This moisturizer, rich in ingredients like Manjistha (Indian Madder), Mulethi (Licorice), Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus), and Shea Butter, is designed to calm, hydrate, and brighten the skin. Key Ingredients and Benefits Manjistha (Indian Madder) Manjistha is a powerful Ayurvedic herb with skin-purifying properties. It helps improve blood circulation, which promotes healing of acne scars and results in a clearer complexion. Mulethi (Licorice) Licorice not only brightens the skin but also helps to balance the skin tone. It’s effective in fading hyperpigmentation and acne marks, leaving the skin looking more even and radiant. Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus) Shatavari has hydrating and anti-aging properties that support skin elasticity and reduce fine lines. It’s especially beneficial for replenishing moisture in skin that may be sensitized by acne treatments. Chandan (Sandalwood) Sandalwood has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that help calm irritated skin and reduce acne. It also provides a natural fragrance that calms the senses and enhances the moisturizing experience. Ghritkumari (Aloe Vera) Aloe Vera is a natural hydrator and healer, perfect for acne-prone skin. It soothes any inflammation, helps balance moisture, and provides long-lasting hydration without clogging pores. Shea Butter Shea Butter is deeply moisturizing and rich in essential fatty acids. It helps repair the skin barrier, locking in moisture and protecting the skin from environmental damage.

It helps lighten dark spots and supports overall skin health, keeping the skin bright and smooth. Patch Test Recommended. Should any signs of discomfort arise, discontinue with swiftness and care.
