YOGI’S HALO: Glow Like the Moon in 3 Steps

BY INDU ARORA (SHE/HER)

What habits will you invite into your selfcare routine this year?

The new year can be a great time to reevaluate habits, routines, and tasks we perform less than mindfully, perhaps even on autopilot. To live means to change and grow, but it’s easy for our habits to lag behind our mind and spirit as we evolve. Does your daily routine need a firmware update?

During one such evolution from long ago, I arrived at the home of my guru to immerse myself in her knowledge and wisdom of yoga/yoga therapy/Ayurveda. Like many young people my age, I traveled with my small bag of favorite cosmetics. Very fond of skin care in my early twenties, my age supported that passion. On the second day of my stay, my guru made it clear to me she was not so fond of this external remedy for glow. The visual of her throwing out all my favorite, carefully curated cosmetics disheartened me.

But just as the clouds clear the way for the sun to shine, in a short (1-minute) conversation, it became clear she would share the secret recipe of the yogis for everlasting glow — an invisible crown, the Yogi’s Halo.

She shared the Yogis Glow, the secret to healthy skin in 3 simple steps. I urge you to wear this invisible crown, the Yogi’s Halo, every day.

Food for Skin — My Secret in 3 Steps

Many ask the most existential question about skin care — what is the best skin care routine for a healthy glow? I offer this 3-step perfect skincare routine to you today as a tribute to my grandmother, and her grandmother, and the cosmic mother who nourishes us all. I remember as a child, my grandmother would walk towards me with a bowl of this nourishing mixture and apply it on my face with her soft, motherly hands and say, “You will glow like the Moon.”
