A Nightly Ritual to Reset Your Skin: The Ojas Night Beauty Balm

Published on:

“It is this Ojas which keeps all the living being replenished & refreshed, there can be no life without ‘Ojas’. Ojas marks the beginning of formation of the physical being- it is a nourishing fluid that sustains life.”

-Charak Samhita

 

Ojas for Glowing skin

Ancient Ayurvedic scriptures consider night (Ratri) as an essential to rest, restore and replenish the body’s Ojas, where it can reset its functions to start a new day, at the break of dawn. Ratri is the Vedic Goddess of the night, the one that brings natural order to the universe, or that, which is ultimately responsible for the proper functioning of the cosmic rhythms of life and all living beings.

Ayurveda believes the darkness of the Ratri as an essential, to stimulate a sense of serenity that induces restful sleep. Residing in the night sky is the waning Moon (Chandra), which means shining. She is described in Ayurveda, as young and beautiful, two-armed and carrying a club and a lotus.

Taking the shining Moon and the serene sky it dwells upon, as a muse, Forest Essentials has prepared the miraculous Ojas Glow Replenishing Night Beauty Balma natural skincare product that leaves the skin looking visibly energized with a youthful appearance. A new, innovative balm formulation for the skin, this is a one-of-its-kind skin quencher that increases the efficacy of your night treatment cream that follows.

Read on to unravel the Ojas Glow Replenishing Night Beauty Balm and the importance of face balms for glowing skin:

What is a Face Balm?

A face balm is a solid formulation of highly concentrated, active ingredients, which turns into a silky consistency when applied to the skin. It is lighter than a cream and has soothing properties that are absorbed into the inner, deepest layer of the skin. Nourishing face balms are often applied to the skin at night to achieve a natural glow. 

What is the Ojas Glow Replenishing Night Beauty Balm?

The new Forest Essentials Night Beauty Balm is the first step towards achieving healthy, smooth and radiant skin. It is formulated with 40% of a unique repairing and brightening Ayurvedic serum that has intricate rituals of making. Its precious herbs are painstakingly sourced from the Kolli Hills of central Tamil Nadu, which are renowned for the potency of their therapeutic herbs & plants. This night beauty balm works like an ‘activator’, to enhance the efficacy of your night cream and gets absorbed instantly, within a minute.

How Brightening Ayurvedic Serum is Prepared?

– The Ayurvedic serum is extracted with intricate processes including procuring the herbs from the Kolli Hills, renowned for the potency of their medicinal herbs & plants. After collecting the herbs, they are sorted by hand and cleaned, followed by the process of ‘Chandra Sputam’ and ‘Surya Sputam’, where the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon draw out the natural healing properties of these ingredients. This mélange of potent herbs is then hand grinded into a powder, which is spread on a Banana leaf and kept under direct Sunlight for a specific time period, every day, for a month. This period of time is known as ‘Abhijeet Kala’, which is known to have the most effective Sun rays that transmit their energy to the formulation, consequently energizing the skin, when the product is applied.

– After the herbs are finely ground and identified as Shatru and Mirtu herbs, Cow’s Milk is mixed into the Shatru herb paste and Coconut Milk is added to Mitru herb paste, which is allowed to simmer on slow heat. Subsequently, the water evaporates and the oil separates.

– The next step is Ural & Turush, where eight imbued flowers shrink and are filtered with a fine muslin cloth. In Turush, the blue Copper Sulphate is converted into Silver, which is responsible for the luminescent gleam that the Serum encapsulates in the skin.

– Finally, this concoction is filtered into glass jars with a fine muslin cloth. The glass jar is then kept in a deep copper vessel, half-filled with millet grains, for 3-4 days, allowing the oil to mature. After maturation, the jar is removed from the vessel for the extraction of the precious  Ayurvedic serum, to achieve the final product – a velvet-textured, night beauty balm authentic and true to its ingredients.
