Signs of ageing can be sneaky—often showing up as inflammation before you even notice wrinkles or fine lines. Driven by the quest for youthful skin, we decided to test a duo of Ayurvedic skincare products promising to lift, sculpt, and rejuvenate the skin. This is how our week-long journey went with Kama Ayurveda‘s new Amarrupa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream and Amarrupa Facial Oil. Here’s what we are looking at doing within this week of trials – we are trying to see if our skincare concerns are addressed and at least there is some sort of a change if not a miracle.
Concerns: Dehydration and dullness, fine lines and/or early signs of ageing, lack of firmness.
Day 1: First Impressions
We started our day with the Amarrupa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream, enriched with plant-based Hyaluronic acid and Centella Asiatica. The cream has a luxurious, velvety texture that feels instantly hydrating making the skin feel bouncy. At night, we paired it with the Amarrupa Facial Oil, a blend of Ayurvedic botanicals, the duo promises to nourish and soothe the skin. Here’s hoping!
Day 3: Early Signs of Improvement
By day three, we noticed a visible reduction in puffiness and an overall smoother skin texture. To our routine, we also added The Kansa Wand, a traditional Ayurvedic massage tool for facial massage. This self-care tool can help you get one step closer to youthful, sculpted skin by promoting blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Day 5: Deep Hydration and Firmness
Midway through the week, the skin started feeling firmer in comparison and deeply hydrated. The Centella Asiatica in the cream supports natural collagen synthesis, giving the skin a plumper, more youthful appearance. The facial oil, rich in anti-inflammatory properties, continued to soothe and nourish the skin, helping to reduce any redness or irritation.
Day 7: Glowing, Youthful Skin
By the end of the week, our skin was glowing and looked noticeably more youthful. The age-defying duo of the cream and oil had started to deliver on its promises. We are sure that over time it would work towards reducing fine lines marginally, improving skin texture and increasing firmness even more.
One of the standout features of this skincare duo is its use of plant-based actives. The plant-based Hyaluronic acid present in the Amarrupa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream, provides intense hydration, helping to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Carrot Seed Oil offer powerful anti-ageing benefits, promoting skin vitality and resilience.
According to Dr. Aruna, a renowned Ayurvedic practitioner, inflammation is often the first sign of ageing. “Inflammation can lead to a breakdown of collagen and elastin, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin,”, she explains. The Amarrupa Facial Oil, with its blend of anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic herbs, helps to combat this early sign of ageing, promoting a calm and balanced complexion.
Here’s how we love to incorporate this age-defying duo into your skincare routine:
1. PM Routine: We like to add 2-3 drops of Amarrupa Facial Oil before the moisturiser to boost hydration and repair.
2. Daily Boost: Sometimes when we need an extra boost, we mix 1-2 drops of the oil with your moisturiser in the morning.
3. Intensive Treatment: Another amazing way to use the oil would be to use it as a mask twice a week, leaving it on for 15 minutes before gently removing the excess. It really gives the ingredients a little time to absorb into the skin and work its magic.
After a week of using the Amarrupa Contour Defining & Lifting Cream and Facial Oil, we’re convinced that this duo is a game-changer for anyone looking to tackle the signs of ageing naturally. With the power of plant-based actives and an original Ayurvedic recipe, achieving youthful, radiant skin has never been easier. Add to that lymphatic drainage by the Kansa Wand, which also contains copper and tin, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, and you have a golden trifecta that improves your skin by leaps and bounds. Why not try it for yourself and see the transformation?
