I am truly enjoying Shankara skin care. It feels fresh, like it was just made for you personally. The smells are fresh as well, like the herbs and oils have just been combined. The scents are natural and spicy.

The results - so far, I feel a youthfulness about my skin. My cheeks have been Rosy and my skin dewy. And after using Shankara products, my skin feels open, like it can breathe. I really appreciate these products.

I am able to sample :

HYDRATING CLEANSING GELE

Hydrating Cleansing Gele' contains Shankara's exclusive regenerating, antioxidant Ayurveda Energen Complex with Ayurvedic herbs, activated extracts and monoatomic elements. Mild and non-irritating, the naturally derived foaming cleansing ingredients are combined with moisturizing olive oil, macadamia nut oil, lecithin, algae extract, and a unique hydrating amino acid complex that nourishes and leaves skin feeling moist and silky-soft after cleansing.

MICROCRYSTAL EXFOLIATION TREATMENT

Produces an immediate, noticeable appearance and feeling of more youthful skin results after only one treatment. With daily exfoliation of the skin's surface with Shankara's Microcrystal Exfoliation Treatment, aging effects continue to decrease as fine lines fade and wrinkles and sagging are reduced. Skin tone evens out and discolorations fade. The skin takes on a renewed look of refined radiance. Diatomaceous earth and Ayurvedic herbs help purify new skin as old cells are removed.
