A wholesome chat with an expertly crafted Ayurvedic ingenuity: The Day and Night Face Care Duo, housing the oldest members of the family of ‘iYURA’!
Interviewer
Welcome to today’s interview. I’m incredibly thrilled to have The Day and Night Face Care Duo with us. Could you please introduce yourself?
The Day and Night Duo
Of course, hi! I am The Day and Night Duo and I’m a meticulously curated duo, made to simplify your everyday skincare regimen, subject you to NO harmful chemicals and cater to all your skincare needs perfectly.
Interviewer
So, we did some background research before having you over. We learnt that the two face carers you contain are the oldest residents of iYURA, the brand that provides authentic, 100% natural polyherbal blends. Is that true?
The Day and Night Duo
Well, I've got to say, you have a great team of background researchers! Yes, that is true. I contain two of iYURA’s oldest residents. The daytime face carer I contain, Kesaradi Oil, which was made by following a particular ancient Ayurvedic scripture called ‘The Beauty Elixir’, was the first member of iYURA’s family.
Interviewer
Oh, so, Kesaradi Oil has proven efficacy since that long!
The Day and Night Duo
Yes, but its traditional formulation has existed for thousands of years. iYURA added essential oils to create a beautiful aroma, since the traditional formulation has a strong herbal aroma which may not agree with everyone – and so, Kesaradi Oil was born. And, in fact, Kesaradi Oil was also recently clinically tested, and guess what?
Interviewer
It was successful?
The Day and Night Duo
Extremely! It showed a 59.5% improvement in skin moisturization in 28 days, 22.1% brighter skin in 28 days, more radiant skin in 14 days, more supple skin in 14 days and softer skin in just 7 days!
Interviewer
Oh wow!
The Day and Night Duo
I know! 100% of the women in the trial saw results. Ayurveda has known this for years, of course 😀.
Interviewer
That’s amazing! That provides high validity to the efficacy of Kesaradi Oil!
The Day and Night Duo
Sure does!
Interviewer
And the night-time face carer you contain is called Manjish Glow Elixir, right? That would be iYURA’s 2nd family member?
The Day and Night Duo
Yes. Though if we go by the Ayurvedic scriptures these formulations are based on, the formulation for Manjish Glow Elixir is older. But Manjish Glow Elixir joined the iYURA clan right after Kesaradi Oil.
Interviewer
Aah, interesting. So, Kesaradi is based on ‘The Beauty Elixir’ and Manjish Glow Elixir is based on...?
The Day and Night Duo
The texts of an ancient Ayurvedic scripture called ‘Chakradutta’.
Interviewer
Aah, yes, there’s an interesting quote about Manjish’s traditional formulation in Chakradutta, if I'm not wrong?
The Day and Night Duo
Yes, it goes, “One who massages her face with it regularly for 7 consecutive nights, gets skin with a glow that's reminiscent of the attractive radiance of gold!”
Interviewer
Beautiful! And so poetic.
The Day and Night Duo
Indeed!
Interviewer
So, a very unique feature I found out about your formulations is that they’re cooked together - not blended like usual skincare, but cooked. Why is that?
The Day and Night Duo
Aah, great question. As per the scriptures of Ayurveda, which were so diligently followed during the making of my oils, the best way to ensure optimum delivery of the benefits of the herbs in a formulation is by cooking them together in a base oil. THIS is what ensures effectiveness of the formulation. All the goodness of the herbs gets collected in the base oil they’re cooked in. This also has to be done methodically – by following the ancient Ayurvedic method of oil-cooking called ‘Taila-Paak-Vidhi'. It is complicated, which is why you need experts to do this.
Interviewer
Yeah, sounds it! You talked about the base oil it’s cooked in. You mean sesame oil, right?
The Day and Night Duo
Yes, both Kesaradi and Manjish are cooked in sesame oil. I know that sounds odd, but did you know that sesame oil is the most stable oil for cooking other extremely powerful and potent herbs in?
Interviewer
Wow, I had no idea!
The Day and Night Duo
That’s the beauty of Ayurveda, there's hundreds and thousands of years of research behind every little step taken. The temperature at which the herbs should be cooked, which herb should be added first and which next, which specific herb should be used for which specific skin trouble – these are all specified in Ayurvedic scriptures written thousands of years ago!
Interviewer
Wow, I think you used the word ‘specific’ quite a few times, didn’t you?
The Day and Night Duo
Haha, yes, I did, because that’s how important specificity is in Ayurveda!
Interviewer
Understood. So, should the oils in The Day & Night Duo exclusively be used together, or can you also mix-and-match with any other iYURA face oils?
The Day and Night Duo
Yes, you can! While we love working together the most, we also enjoy partnering up with Yauvari Amplified Youth Spring or Prinourish Skin-Enriching Superfood Serum. We’re all from the same Ayurveda family, and you can always try out which specific formulation and combination works best for your unique skin type. You can even use us along with products from our sister-brands, Ajara and A. Modernica Naturalis.
Kesaradi Oil and Manjish Glow Elixir work beautifully together, which is why I, the Duo, was created!
Interviewer
Aah, lovely! I remember Yauvari, it has that beautiful pink and floral packaging. In fact, all iYURA oils have beautiful art on the packaging. It’s so unique - where did that inspiration come from?
The Day and Night Duo
The artwork on our packaging is actually a traditional form of art called Madhubani. In fact, our outfits were made by local artists in India, the homeland of Madhubani art and Ayurveda!
Interviewer
That’s amazing! Wait, didn’t one of you get a recent makeover, Kesaradi?
The Day and Night Duo
Yes! A local artist made a new outfit for me in traditional Madhubani painting, and I completely fell in love with it. I’m so happy!
Interviewer
Totally understandable! So, one more interesting thing we found from our research is that you last a loooong time. How?
The Day and Night Duo
Haha, yes, I do last a looong time. That’s because you only need to use 3-4 drops every time you use my oils. Both of my formulations are potent polyherbal oils. A few drops morning and evening is all it takes. Sure, you could need a little more than that if you have super dry skin, but even then, these bottles are large enough to stay with you for a long time!
Interviewer
Wow, that sounds like great value for money!
The Day and Night Duo
Yes, I truly am!
Interviewer
Well, before we end this interview, I have one last question – and it’s a two part-er. First – what do people love the most about you and second, what do you love about yourself the most?
The Day and Night Duo
The most common thing people write about me is that I worked better for them than any other products they’ve tried and that they’ll use me for the rest of their lives.
“Rosanne A.: At first I really didn’t pay much attention, but I do think I have noticed less wrinkles and smoother skin. It’s worked better than anything else I have purchased. I will probably continue using it as long as I can”
“Amanda C.: GREAT!!!! Very Good it is wonderful. I will definitely be using it the rest of My life 😊. Thank you”
This is obviously great to hear because my ambition was always to help people get the perfect day-and-night skincare regimen, which is not easy. And I wanted people to see the beauty of authentic natural skincare for that! So, this makes me beyond happy.
Interviewer
Aw, so happy for you! And what do you love the most about yourself?
The Day and Night Duo
Umm, it would definitely be the fact that I take good care of mature skin. It's no secret that as you age, your skin gets dry and loses collagen. This is when your skin needs comforting, non-toxic, good-for-you and effective skincare that doesn’t harm your skin. I love the fact that I can be that skincare option for older women. In fact, I'm beyond honored to be that skincare option for older women.
Interviewer
Ah, beautiful! I love you for that too!
The Day and Night Duo
Aw, thank you so much!
Interviewer
Well, this seems like a great note to end this interview on. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Hope you had a good time talking to us.
The Day and Night Duo
I did, thanks for having me. This was great fun!
