Summer across Europe invites us to enjoy sunshine, warm evenings, and outdoor adventures—but all that beauty can take its toll on our skin. Prolonged sun exposure, rising temperatures, and travel-related stress often leave the skin dry, irritated, or imbalanced.
At Holistic Essentials Europe, we turn to Ayurveda for timeless skincare wisdom. Our July Campaign highlights the power of Ayurvedic Skin Recovery Oils, designed to support your skin naturally after sun exposure and help it restore glow, balance, and vitality.
The Power of Ayurvedic Oils
In Ayurvedic tradition, Abhyanga (self-massage with oil) is more than a beauty routine—it’s a healing act. Using herbal-infused oils like Jatyadee and Manjistha nourishes the skin, soothes inflammation, and supports natural regeneration. Combined with internal rituals like taking Ghee, this creates a truly holistic approach to summer skincare.
Our Hero Products
Jatyadee Oil – The Skin Healer
An Ayurvedic blend featuring Neem and Jatamansi, Jatyadee Oil helps soothe heat-related skin concerns like redness, irritation, or sensitivity. It’s the perfect remedy for after-sun care and restoring calm to overexposed skin.
Use it when:
- Skin feels hot or tight after sun exposure
- You experience redness or minor heat rash
- You want a cooling, nourishing nighttime treatment
Manjistha – The Detoxifier for Skin
Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) is known in Ayurveda as a blood cleanser and skin purifier. When used externally as an infused oil or as a DIY skin paste, it helps to clear blemishes and even skin tone. Taken internally (as a powder or capsule), it also supports detoxification and Pitta balance.
Use it when:
- You're experiencing breakouts from heat or travel
- Your skin tone appears uneven or inflamed
- You want inside-out support for clear skin

DIY: Manjistha Infused Oil for Face & Body
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Manjistha powder
- 3–4 tbsp cold-pressed sesame oil
Preparation:
- Combine powder and oil in a small bowl or glass jar.
- Gently warm over a pot of hot water or microwave for 10–15 seconds.
- Stir until well combined and warm (not hot).
- Apply to face or body using gentle circular motions. Leave on for 30 mins or overnight.
This simple ritual helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote a natural glow.
Organic Ghee – Nourishment from Within
Ghee is revered in Ayurveda as a cooling, hydrating superfood that also supports healthy skin from the inside. Its rich concentration of essential fatty acids helps soothe dryness and replenish radiance when taken as part of your diet.
Use it when:
- Your skin remains dry despite external oils
- You experience internal heat or digestive discomfort
- You want to glow from within—literally!
