Skin Shaanti Mantra
When it comes to the gamut of skincare, I’ve tried at least 20 different brands over the last 20 years. I can tell you this much, I’ve always found satisfaction in having a skincare routine, but have struggled with what actually works. Throughout my teen years to the latter part of my twenties, it was quite the challenge to bring peace to my skin, which was riddled with acne and subsequent scarring. I realized over time that these routines I worked so hard to keep needed to adapt to the natural aging process—sometimes month after month. Hormonal fluctuations and other health-related changes can disrupt the skin’s barrier in different ways, leaving us stranded on an island of today’s skincare that doesn’t work for the future. And that’s just a fact of life.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the information out there, but before you grab for the nearest bar of soap, please hear me out. If you begin to look at skincare as a true wellness aspect of your life, you will embrace the ever-changing journey of finding the right one in this moment. You can then settle into a well-designed regimen until your body speaks differently to you again.

So why did I choose the name Skin Shaanti, with the two A’s? Shanti is the Sanskrit word meaning “inner peace.” This resonated with my mantra and skincare mission at the core, which is to restore peace and balance to the skin. I liked spelling it with two A’s because it was unique, and well, I had a little more in mind.
— Why Skin Shaanti?
The first ‘A’ in my Shaanti stands for Authenticity. I strive to bring an authentic approach to skincare, whether it is holistic or science-based. I believe that one approach doesn’t necessarily work for everyone; therefore, a skincare treatment or regimen needs to be tailored specifically to your needs. I truly believe that when you have a system that is authentically best for you, it will bring out the best in you from the inside out.
The second ‘A’ stands for Appreciation, specifically self-appreciation. When you embrace shanti and invite it into your daily routine, you will find a deeper sense of gratitude for your healthy glow. Being grateful for your healthy skin will stay with you throughout your day and help you achieve the rest of your goals.
— The Two A’s
Shanti brings harmony and balance. When your skin is balanced, you tend to feel more balanced. At the end of the day, skincare and all forms of self-care should be intentional, meditative, and satisfying—not chores or afterthoughts.
I believe a good skincare regime should help you achieve the best version of yourself. That’s why Skin Shaanti is here—to restore peace and balance to your skin, and allow your inner beauty to radiate outward. Embrace the transformative power of Skin Shaanti, and join me on the journey of authentic self-care like never before.
