With the frenzy of the daily routines in the modern world, self-care tends to be set aside. However, nature is reminding us that a simple self-care can always feed not only the body but also the mind and soul. A head to toe herbal ritual will provide harmony to your daily balance and this is the reminder that beauty starts with a balance.

Step 1: Revive Your Scalp and Hair

A cleaner and balanced scalp will give healthy hair. Start your ritual by a pre-shampoo massage in herbal oil. Apply enriching mixture consisting of amla, bhringaj and coconut oil to make roots stronger, lower hair loss and add shine. Massage lightly in circular movements so as to stimulate some circulation and tension relief. Use a sulfate-free herbal shampoo to clean the scalp but not to remove the natural oil followed by an aloe vera based rinse to make the hair soft and shiny.

To make it even more lovely, every week, you can do a warm herbal mask with hibiscus and fenugreek on your hair. It soothes the skin and helps eliminate dandruff - your hair is restored and your scalp is fresh.

Step 2: Cleanse and Awaken the Face

The face is the part of the body that is most exposed to environmental stress and thus it needs special attention. Begin with a light herbal cleanser that has neem, turmeric or even green tea to wash away dirt and still maintain the natural moisture of the skin.

Then once or twice in a week apply a mild exfoliator made of crushed walnut or oatmeal to remove dullness. The use of herbal toner which is impregnated with rose water or cucumber is used to balance the PH levels and close the pores in a natural manner.

Do this by rubbing in a light moisturizer, which is made of herbs mixed with aloe vera, saffron or sandalwood. It fixes the moisture, enhances the texture and maintains your skin soft and shiny all day long.

Step 3: Nourish the Body Naturally

Self-care is not just skin deep. Start with a warm shower that is applied with a tulsi, lavender, or lemongrass herbal body wash that is mild. The ingredients clean and the natural aroma of these ingredients soothes the senses.

Shower and wipe yourself with a towel, after which use an herbal body lotion or oil with shea butter, almond oil and chamomile. This will not only replenish the moisture that you lost, it will enhance elasticity and your body will be glowing inside. To add a new twist, it is a good idea to exfoliate your body once a week using a herbal scrub that cleans your body and enhances the circulation.

Step 4: Seal the Ritual with Serenity

Complete your day with a day of silence. Put some drops of lavender or jasmine essential oil on your pulse points to calm the nerves. Quench thirst with a glass of warm water, a drop of lemon or mint- it will make the inside of the body clean.

A self-care ritual of the whole body, as a ritual of herbal self-care is not a beauty routine. It is a kind of gratitude on a daily basis- it is a moment to re-relate with nature and feel yourself at your best in your own skin.

Let every step remind you that nature always knows the secret to timeless beauty.
