You've been putting in the work—whether it's strength training, yoga, or long walks that get your heart racing.
Hydration can drop after heavy sweating, and menopause brings its own collagen loss and fading elasticity — especially if a few pounds come off along the way.
You've been putting in the work—whether it's strength training, yoga, or long walks that get your heart racing.
Hydration can drop after heavy sweating, and menopause brings its own collagen loss and fading elasticity — especially if a few pounds come off along the way.
Instead of criticising it or rushing to “fix” it, what if you simply cared for it?
is that daily Body Massage Oil that says,
It’s not about instant results. It’s about creating a ritual that moisturises and comforts your skin consistently—so that over time, it looks more supple and feels more cared for in the strong, changing body it belongs to.
Your skin feels tired and dull after a workout — even when you feel strong inside
You sweat more than you used to, often thanks to menopause, and your skin feels extremely dry afterward
Your skin gets itchy or flaky after a sweaty session, no matter how much you moisturise
Your skin feels loose or saggy in places — especially if you've lost a few pounds along the way

First of all, if you're noticing the appearance of crepiness or sagging—especially around your arms, thighs, tummy, or hips—know this: it's completely normal.
As estrogen declines during menopause, your skin's ability to hold onto collagen and elastin declines with it — the proteins that keep skin firm, plump, and bouncy. Research shows women can lose up to 30% of their skin's collagen within just the first five years after menopause. Add a lighter frame underneath from weight loss or muscle-building, and skin has even less structural support to spring back to — making it more prone to dryness, sagging, and that crepey texture.
Even as you build strength underneath, your skin might not catch up right away — your muscles get the recovery, your skin needs its own care too. During menopause, your skin's natural lipid barrier changes as well, making it harder to bounce back on its own — which is where daily moisturisation and massage help.

Long before skincare aisles existed, Ayurveda had a name for this ritual: Abhyanga — the practice of massaging warm oil into the body, traditionally for at least 15 minutes, head to toe. Unlike a lotion that sits on the surface and absorbs fast, oil absorbs slowly — giving it time to gradually and deeply penetrate the skin, delivering nourishment that lasts rather than a quick layer of hydration.Abhyanga was never just a skincare step; it was an act of care for the body, at every stage of life. That's the ritual Balaayah is built around — turning a few minutes after your workout into your own Abhyanga.

Dry skin can sometimes appear less smooth or supple. Oils like Balaayah, made with ingredients such as Black Gram, are traditionally used to help skin feel soft, well-moisturised, and comforted—especially during or after periods of body change.
In Ayurveda, Abhyanga (oil massage) is described as a daily ritual to intensely nourish the skin and restore balance. Modern clinical studies echo this wisdom: massage increases circulation, supports hydration, and even improves elasticity. This makes daily body massage not only comforting but also supportive for skin that may feel drier or looser after weight changes.
Just like weight loss, caring for your skin is a journey. But with the right ingredients and simple daily rituals such as Body Massage, you can keep your skin feeling nourished and supported.
"What A Product!"
“My experience was so good that I have already repurchased several bottles. From weight loss my legs became quite wrinkled (-looking). In a short time of using this product my legs became hydrated and smooth (-looking)... I teach movement classes and many of my students have told me that I have great legs...Not bad for a 72-year-old :)”

Key Ingredient
Perhaps you’ve never heard of it before, perhaps you ate it in an Indian restaurant… or perhaps you had it in a lentil burger in a Vegan cafe… perhaps you’ve never eaten it, but one thing we’re sure about – you’ve definitely never used it for dry, dehydrated skin!
We’re talking about Black Gram Lentil that has such surprising benefits for your skin that you’ll be amazed, really!
It has one unique quality for which it is specially prized in Ayurveda - ‘Unctuousness’ or in other words, an ‘anointing’ quality- unlike any other emulsifier, cream or butter in the whole world!
This quality makes Black Gram very moisturising. It is an innate quality of this intensely nourishing lentil and when used through the right modality, it can do wonders for the skin, unlike any other moisturiser!

One of the most fascinating natural substances known for its skincare potential is this mineral-rich element found in some of the world’s most ancient terrains.
Traditionally valued in wellness practices, it’s often associated with balancing, replenishing, and nurturing properties — qualities that make it a favorite in skin-nourishing preparations.
Velvet Bean
Velvet Bean or Mucuna Pruriens is a leguminous plant that is native to tropical areas of Africa and Asia and can also be found in some parts of Southeast Asia. It is known to:
Give that soft, velvety texture to your skin
Soothe, and keep skin looking clear
Nourish, rejuvenate, nurture the look of the skin with intense moisture.
Castor oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly ricinoleic acid, which is known to provide deep hydration to the skin. It is known to help in preventing moisture loss and maintaining skin suppleness. It is known to:
Provide ageing support to the skin
Promote clarity of complexion
Soften skin
Provide a smooth, velvety texture
Ensure long lasting moisture
Nut Grass
Nutgrass, scientifically known as Cyperus rotundus, is a perennial plant that belongs to the sedge family (Cyperaceae). It is commonly referred to as nutgrass, coco-grass, or purple nutsedge and in Ayurveda it is known as ‘Musta’ or ‘Mustak’. It is known to be:
A strong youthfulness promoter
Helpful in softening the appearance of UV induced ageing
Calming and soothing
Frankincense & Vanilla
A barely-there scent reminiscent of relaxing vanilla and meditative frankincense, the aroma starts the massage on a warming note and blends into the air pretty quickly, leaving behind just a subtle pleasantness on the skin, no strong odors. Together, in a subtle proportion, they create a grounding and soothing aroma experience, making a Balaayah Body Massage a truly blissful treat!
How to use:
Pump as many drops of the oil as you need to fulfill your moisturisation needs
Massage it in a downward motion all over the body until the oil is absorbed
Towel dry your skin after shower
3-5 pumps of
Balaayah
Massage gently
Grounded, moisturised, refreshed skin
Note: For best results, massage gently onto your skin after workout or before drifting into sleep for overnight moisturisation.

Absolutely. While it's especially comforting for skin that may feel drier or look different after weight changes or workouts, Balaayah is also perfect for anyone who wants to keep their skin feeling soft, nourished, and moisturised every day.
BalaBalaayah Body Oil is perfect for dry, ageing, mature, undernourished skin. The ingredients with which this oil is made are traditionally
known in Ayurveda for being highly effective on mature skin. Also, these oils have unparalleled moisturising abilities too, so basically anyone of any gender or age can use it to moisturise their body and enjoy its luxurious feel!
For skin that looks and feels its best, we recommend applying once or twice daily-ideally after a shower, while the skin is still slightly damp. This helps seal in moisture and leaves your skin feeling soft, nourished, and cared for.
No, they are not. In fact, iYURA products are never tested on animals.
This oil is an Ayurvedic oil. But sometimes even natural ingredients can cause allergic reactions, which is why we always recommend doing a patch test before use, or simply checking the ingredients list.
You can begin Balaayah anytime in your fitness journey. Many people enjoy starting early to keep skin feeling supported as their body changes.
Balaayah is made with natural ingredients and is considered safe if you are well into your post-partum journey, in your post-breastfeeding phase. However, it’s best to check with your doctor first - especially if you have specific sensitivities.
Absolutely. Balaayah is suitable for all genders and age groups looking for a natural, nourishing, look-firming body oil experience.
No, Balaayah has been formulated for use on the body, so it is not advised to be used on facial skin. If you want your face & neck to experience the benefits of Black Gram, try this: Yauvari
