Hyderabad, July 15 -- While strolling through Laad Bazaar during wedding shopping, amid bangles, khada dupattas, and bridal jhumkas, one cannot miss the little skincare and beauty shops tucked between the sparkle. Glass jars and paper packets filled with Chiksa, Aami Haldi, Multani Mitti, and more sit proudly on wooden shelves, offering more than just beauty to Hyderabadi brides, they carry legacy.

These traditional products, still commonly used by Hyderabadi brides, form the foundation of pre-wedding skincare in many households. Far from being outdated, these time-tested nuskhas continue to hold their place in modern bridal routines, blending natural ingredients with cultural comfort in ways that no salon facial can replicate.

As weddi...
