Shahnaz HusainBorn into a conservative family, Shahnaz had to comply with existing traditions and was married at the tender age of 15, and became a mother by the time she was 16. She trained for ten years in cosmetic therapy and cosmetic chemistry, at leading institutions of the West, like Helena Rubinstein, Swarzkopf, Christine Valmy, Lancome and Lean of Copenhagen. Adopting the principle of "Care and Cure," she set up her own herbal clinic, at her residence, with very little capital investment (less than US$1000), formulating products for skin, hair and body care, based on the Ayurvedic system and devising clinical treatments for specific problems. Her formulations and treatments have become breakthroughs in natural beauty care.
