Shankara’s Essential 3-Step Skin Ritual

A simple yet powerful foundation for daily skin balance

Cleanse

Start with a cleanser tailored to your dosha with purifying and balancing or soothing properties to remove dirt, impurities, and makeup. Cleansing sets the foundation by clearing away surface debris, ensuring your skin is ready to receive the benefits of the next steps.

Exfoliate

This step gently sloughs away dead skin cells that can dull your complexion and clog pores. Using one of Shankar’s Exfoliators reveals smoother, fresher skin and enhances the absorption of serums and moisturizers, applied later in your routine. 

Moisturize & protect

Rich in nutrients and antioxidants, pure and non-comedogenic, these moisturizers (oils or creams) offer natural protection from the elements while bringing balance to your skin type. This step also enhances the longevity of your skin’s natural balance and glow. Tailored to your dosha, these oils and creams offer deep hydration while calming, balancing, or revitalizing your skin.

This step is vital to lock in hydration and boosts your skin’s natural resilience. It ensures long-lasting moisture, creating a radiant, healthy glow that lasts throughout the day or night.
