Ayurveda and Skin Care

Ayurveda does not separate the involvement of mental and spiritual wellbeing from the concept of beauty. Ayurveda classifies beauty by prakriti (Body constitution), sara (structural predominance), sanhanan (compactness of body), twak (skin completion), Praman (Measurement) and dirghayu lakshyana (symptom of long life). Ayurveda rejuvenation therapy is regarded as an integral part of ongoing self-care that helps beauty be with you throughout life and a fresh start in the process of making health-supporting lifestyle changes. According to Ayurvedic principles, our Dosha (Body Constitution) determines our skin type: Commonly used natural remedies in management of pain:

Vata Skin

Characteristics:

• Dry and rough skin
• Cold to the touch
• Thin outer layer, prone to premature wrinkles and aging
The main feature is when exposed to harsh elements or incompatible food, lack of water and oil, can aggravate aging in this skin type. In addition, excessive mental, physical activity and insufficient rest also contribute to poor skin health.
Ayurvedic treatments and skin care products nourish Vata skin from the inside out creating a healthy glow.

Pitta Skin

Characteristics:

• Fair, reddish or freckled
• Affected by heat and sun, burns easily
• Can be sensitive or oily, prone to acne & inflammation
Incompatible foods (oily, sour, acidic, spicy etc.), stress and chemicals can agitate this skin type. Toxins appear in the skin as inflammation, blemishes and acne. Ayurvedic treatments eliminate these problems by detoxifying and cleansing from the inside out and application of skin remedies can restore a clear and beautiful complexion.

Kapha Skin

Characteristics:

• Smooth, thick, moist, pale, ages well
• Tends to be oily and prone to large pores, black/whiteheads and acne
• Excessive oil excretion plus with dirt leads to clogging of skin pores
Incompatible food (sweet, salty, oily, dairy products, etc.) and a sedentary lifestyle can aggravate this skin type. Ayurvedic treatments and remedies increase the circulation and detoxify the skin, restoring balance.
