Ayurveda, an ancient art and science of self-care, lies at the core of Indian culture. Rooted in timeless traditions and passed down through generations, Ayurveda utilizes nature's offerings to provide a luxurious and effective solution for enhancing your skin and overall well-being through natural, pure ingredients.
How: The holism of Ayurveda is based on seeing your mind, body and soul as one and presenting nature’s wisdom aligned with your lifeforce. Ayurvedic skincare treats you based on which of the three doshas (life forces) are dominant within you.
You are made up of Vata (Wind), Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (Water and Earth). If you have a Vata Skintype, the wind and the ether influence you. At its best, Vata Skintype is thin, with small pores, giving the illusion of clear, porcelain skin. The Vata skin type also tends to be affected by dryness, needing the power of ashwagandha, warm spices and ginger to hydrate and nourish it.
If you have a Pitta Skintype, you are fuelled by fire. Your skin possesses an inherent and warm dewy glow with unique freckles. However, it can also cause acne, and inflamed and oily skin if not nourished with the coolness of aloe vera, turmeric and sandalwood correctly.
If you have Kapha Skintype, you are nurtured by the energy of the Earth and Water. You are naturally moisturised by the natural elements. Yet, if you ignore caring for yourself, you could be prone to blackheads, whiteheads, and water retention. All you need is honey, turmeric and face massages that calm the forces within you, giving you glowing skin.
Every individual owns a special balance of these doshas, and knowing yours could help you find the specific blend of Ayurvedic ingredients that transforms your skin.
