<\/span>First of all, tell us a little bit about yourself<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hey! I\u2019m Tanya, Brand Director for Urban Veda, a beautiful Award-Winning skincare brand based on the holistic principles of Ayurveda. I joined the Founder about 4 years ago and have since been leading the brand & team and have seen it grow from humble beginnings to a leading International Ayurvedic skincare brand. I grew up in Birmingham, spending most of my teenage years training in Indian classical dance and acting. I then moved to London for University and joined Deloitte as a graduate. I learnt a huge amount from my 6 years there from strategy and problem solving to leading teams and commercial awareness. This set me in good stead for my next big career change \u2013 moving to Urban Veda and applying my learnings to a whole new environment!<\/p>\n

<\/span>Why is Ayurvedic skincare & beauty so important to you and how do you incorporate it into your life?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

My family are of Indian heritage so Ayurveda really is something that I grew up with and became aware of from a very young age. Treating skin concerns as not just an external issue but also as an indication of an internal balance has been my biggest takeaway. I would say that I incorporate Ayurvedic skincare and beauty into my life predominantly through rituals such as Garshana (dry brushing) and Abhayanga (self massage).<\/p>\n

<\/span>What are your fave skincare ingredients?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

I love essential oils, particularly Sandalwood as it is super soothing. I really appreciate the aromatherapeutic qualities of skincare as I believe they harness a calming, meditative power. I\u2019m also a big fan of hyaluronic acid and have been experimenting a lot with the range of acid ingredients too.<\/p>\n

What are your must-have skincare products? Apart from your own range, what is the last product that you purchased that you\u2019re loving?\"\"
