Ever considered covering yourself in curry powder? Thought not. Yet turmeric – a major constituent of commercial versions – is revered for its beauty benefits. The gloriously golden spice is not only known for its ability to make one look wonderful; it’s also an effective antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.
And it’s not the only spice worth slathering on your skin. You’ll find all sorts of Indian ingredients in beauty products and toiletries, whether picked purely for fragrance or for more meaningful reasons. Should you know someone with a penchant for South Asian spice, I have an inkling that a nice little pamper hamper would be wonderfully welcome.
Just remember – to deserve such decadence, the recipient must be beautifully-behaved. Everyone knows that Santa simply will not treat the less-than sweet…
The rain-soaked soils of Rajasthan are the romantic inspiration for the very British fragrance house’s Vaara. Built upon His Highness Gaj Singh II’s dream of bottling Jodphur, the scent sings of spices and Indian florals; coriander seed and saffron; rose and magnolia; all underpinned by earthy, incense-like cedar and sandalwood.
