1. Indian cuisine
Even though the Indian youth is running after the Western and continental food, it has been time and again proven that Indian cuisine is not only good in taste but also has millions of health benefits. The spices, oil and vegetables we use are rich in antioxidants which are one of the proven elements to slow down ageing.
2. Natural skin sare
How many times have you laced your face with gram flour and turmeric? I believe every young Indian woman follows a weekly ritual that involves certain gharelu nuskhe (Homemade Skincare). Indian women are resourceful and they exactly what will benefit their skin. From pulses, papaya, fruits, flours, spices and what not, we have tried them all.
3. Beauty from Inside
While cosmetic surgeries can make you look instantly, but nothing can beat that auric glow that Yoga and meditation gives you. Having Yoga and meditation imbibed deeply into our Asian roots, many Indian women rely on these practices to ease out stress which thereby reflects in their beauty.

4. Organic products
If you follow the ad commercials of beauty products in India, you may have seen a pattern. All of them rely on the same strategy, using organic ingredients and marketing them heavily on the same. This is because Indian women believe more in organic products than synthetic ones. We’d rather use witch hazel for dandruff than using an anti-dandruff shampoo.
5. Steam facial
Not only in India, but nearly all the south-Asian countries rely on this ancient method to pull out dirt from their skin pores. Indian women who religiously follow a beauty regime, always practice weekly or monthly steam sessions to detox their bodies and skin. In fact, in South Korea and Japan, people attend public Sauna events to detoxify their bodies.

6. Organic oils
We religiously follow the routine of oiling our hair and body using coconut oil, amla oil, olive oil, castor oil or mustard oil. It helps us nourishing our skin and hair and maintains its natural shine. Even for cooking, many Indian households still rely on mustard oil or coconut oil instead of refined oils. All these practices reflect in our outer beauty.
