Ruchita Avhad: Heal with ayurveda.

We all have scars that sometimes we try to conceal and heal.  However, some external scars are visible to the outside world and some internal ones haunt us. In my case, my acne was visible to the world which made me  insecure about my appearance and affected my self-confidence. 

I did all the treatments to prevent the acne from dancing on my face but the treatments worked till the time I was doing them and after that my acne appeared again. One day, I was in the village when my grandmother noticed my acne and started pointing them out. I was like “yeah I know, I see myself everyday.” But then she got me some aloe vera and asked me to apply it on my face. Although ayurvedic treatment takes a little time to work on the face, within one application I could feel the difference between the texture of my skin before and after. 

I was so shocked and happy that I took more interest in ayurveda. Further, my grandmother told me about the powders that she made and after sometime even my friends started asking about it. I got so inspired by my grandmother’s recipe that I decided to launch my own products. It was very difficult because I had nothing to start with. 

I made little purchases and learnt how to convert the organic stuff into skin products. I made them at home to see how they are working. After that I put them in the jar and labeled them. Soon, I started labeling, marketing and publishing my products as, “The Skin Chakra” on papers and luckily till now not a single person has made any complaint against our products all because they are 100 % organic.

It was difficult for me to believe in myself as I always lacked confidence. This journey from having acne to creating a skin-care brand has been nothing but a blessing in disguise to me. All of it and so much more only because I could believe in myself and wouldn’t let anything bog me down.
