What does true beauty really mean in today's world?

In this refreshing summer episode of Back Into Alignment, I sit down with Malini Ohri, founder of Saanté Selfcare, and her daughter Mishti for an insightful conversation on how the beauty industry is evolving from cosmetic solutions to conscious wellbeing.

We explore why healthy hair is often a reflection of what's happening inside the body and discuss the importance of hydration, nutrition, stress management, and daily habits that support lasting beauty. Malini also shares practical hair care tips, the benefits of scalp massages, and explains why so many people experience hair thinning or damage after moving to Dubai due to changes in climate, water quality, heat, and lifestyle.

We also dive into how social media has reshaped beauty standards, the pressure of comparison, and why true beauty comes from health, confidence, and self-care rather than perfection. If you're looking for a more holistic approach to beauty, healthy aging, and wellness, this episode is filled with timeless wisdom and practical advice you can start applying today.
