One day I offered to give a family member a facial, using sesame oil. A tradition that’s been passed down from mother to daughter for generations. It wasn’t until I saw their face glow, as the result of my massage, that I realised that beauty was in my blood. And thus, the spark was ignited and the Sesame Boutique was born. Whether I was watching my mother carefully paint on magenta lips, or staring at my sister shape her brows with powder, beauty was both the motivation and the reward. Every aspect, from skin care to the rituals that bring us joy, beauty drives each and every one of us. My job is to report it. Reviews to interviews, the Sesame Boutiques offers valuable ayurvedic recipes and methods to enhance your complexion, products that have been trialed and tested by myself and personal consultancy to help find cosmetics that compliment your features. I hope that you all find something on here to help with your queries and general cosmetic curiosity. The most important thing is that you feel from the inside out.
