Unlock the Benefits of Ayurvedic Skincare

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a natural system of medicine. More than 3000 years ago, it was originated in India. The term Ayurveda is derived from the two Sanskrit words Ayur which means life and Veda which translates to science or knowledge. Therefore, Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life.

What are the benefits of using Ayurvedic ingredients for different skin types?

According to Ayurveda, skin types can be based on three doshas (doshas are the reason for causing a problem and in our case, a skin issue): Vata (Wind), Pitta (Fire), Kapha (Water & Earth). While people with Vata dominancy have rough and dry skin, people with Pitta will have acne prone oily skin. Kapha on the other hand have cold as well as oily skin, which pimples, whiteheads, and lymphatic fluid retention as the major skin woes.

In Ayurvedic Skincare, there are treatments and skincare products for each and every dosha type and thus for every skin issue.

What are the Top Ayurvedic Herbs in Skincare?

Some of the most commonly used Ayurvedic herbs in skincare are Neem, Tulsi, Turmeric, Triphala, and Liquorice root. Neem has powerful antibacterial properties that help deeply in reducing acne, skin breakouts, and other issues that pitta-dominant people face with respect to their skin. Neem can also be combined with other ingredients like tea tree oil to provide additional benefits. The next top ingredient Tulsi is said to reduce acne, support in healthy aging, and to fight pigmentation woes.

Triphala is an anti-inflammatory that keeps your skin protected and nourished. Liquorice root, on the other hand, protects skin from sun damage and brightens your skin.
