In India, the Ayurvedic tradition emphasizes balance through natural remedies. Turmeric masks are still widely used for their anti-inflammatory and brightening properties. Coconut oil massages, known as abhyanga, nourish the skin and calm the nervous system. Ayurvedic herbs like neem, ashwagandha, and tulsi support both internal and external beauty.
In Japan, simplicity and purity define beauty rituals. The centuries-old practice of double cleansing, using oil followed by a gentle cleanser, ensures deep purification without stripping the skin. Green tea, rich in antioxidants, is used both as a drink and as a topical ingredient for soothing and protecting the skin. Rice water has also been a traditional Japanese remedy for brightening the complexion.
