AYURVEDIC beauty

Ayurveda takes into consideration not only on the human body and how it operates within itself, but on the connection with the universe around it It focuses on naturally grown ingredients and uses them to nourish the skin and hair, inside and out When, for example, you see an Ayurvedic doctor about acne or eczema, they won’t just have their skin examined; they’ll also be asked about diet, menstrual cycle, and state of mind

According to Ayurveda, a person ’ s skin type is based on the three doshas These are bioenergetic or life forces that make up the constitution of the body and mind They are vata (wind), pitta (fire) and kapha (water and earth ) A vata-dominant person has dry and rough skin; high pitta tend to have oily skin that may be prone to acne and rosacea; Kapha skin tends to be cold and oily, and it may be prone to pimples
