When was the last time you found yourself overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life, and ventured out on a walk to calm those nerves? Just a quick 15-minute encounter with greenery and an open sky, fluttering birds and skittering animals, makes a lot of difference in those moments of distress, doesn't it? I reckon, almost all of us turn to nature to feel grounded, when we're the most engulfed in life's pressures. In fact, you can flip through several volumes of research papers, and find the same conclusion written in bold print. Nature makes us happier.
I know the statement I made is in no way a revelation. But I suppose I had never fully grasped how far-reaching nature's kindness can be, till I began to rely on it for my beauty needs. And that for me, was an epiphany. As it turns out, I had been heedlessly turning a deaf ear to my mother insisting on natural skincare solutions over chemical-laden products, when she was right all along. And the brand that first brought me close to this realisation? Biotique.
It started as an experiment when I bought the all-natural Winter Green Spot-Correcting Cream from Bioqtiue. It blossomed into a full-fledged relationship with the brand, when I returned next week to take home an assortment of Biotique products. This happened a couple of years back, and even today, if you start rummaging around in my bag, you'll fish out a small container of the spot-correcting cream. So, I guess as someone who's personally seen the undeniable effects of Biotique's unique approach to blending Ayurveda with Science, I'd love for more people to experience the magic I have.
Each product in Biotique's catalogue is a beneficial organic infusion, derived from applying cutting-edge biotechnology to potent herbs, plants and extracts endorsed by the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. Each product is a cent per cent natural, crafted using Advanced Ayurvedic recipes, and devoid of any chemicals. And if it were up to us, we'd recommend each product individually. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's begin by first walking you through the 8 best Biotique products we've discovered to date!

Now, this is my personal opinion so feel free to correct me. But I think if there's one product that a lot of us tend to undervalue in terms of benefits, it's a toner. But trust me when I say this, the perfect toner can completely transform your skincare game. This Bio Cucumber Toner from Biotique, for instance, is made of a formula that combines the hydrating qualities of Cucumber, Indian Barberry, Dhania, Majuphal and Pudeena. Together they bring your complexion to a perfect pH balance, reduce skin inflammation and tiredness, improve skin texture, minimise your pores, and lead to a nourished, youthful appearance.
