Everyone desires radiant and healthy skin, but our skin will change over time with lifestyle and hormonal changes and exposure to the sun. Among the many skincare options available, Ayurveda, the ancient Indian holistic healing system, provides a natural and effective approach.

In Ayurveda, everyone has a unique combination of doshas (energy forces): Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Imbalances in these doshas can lead to skin issues. Deficiency in Vata dosha causes significant skin dryness leading to rough skin, lines & wrinkles. Deficiency in Pitta Dosha leads to changes in skin colour and blood flow and loss of skin elasticity. Eventually, this leads to premature skin ageing and other facial skin problems.

Ayurveda skincare aims to restore dosha balance and promote good skin health through a natural approach to bring about well-being from within. Vata-dominant individuals may need nourishing and moisturising treatments. Pitta-dominant individuals benefit from cooling and soothing therapies. Kapha-dominant individuals can benefit from detoxifying and stimulating therapies.

Herbal remedies and natural ingredients for Ayurveda skincare

Ayurvedic therapy harnesses the power of natural ingredients to rejuvenate the skin. Natural remedies help with skin exfoliation: removing dead skin, improving skin structure and smoothening the skin.

Herbal home remedies such as honey, turmeric, and coconut oil rejuvenates our skin. Ingredients like turmeric, neem, sandalwood, aloe vera and rose are widely used in Ayurveda skincare. These ingredients are proven to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. They effectively combat skin issues such as acne, inflammation and premature ageing.

Some commonly used Ayurvedic remedies for facial massage and skin care are Eladi Keram oil, Kumkumadi oil, Eladi herbal powder and Lodhradi powder. Medicated herbal oils made with these natural ingredients can nourish, cleanse and protect your skin, leaving it with a radiant glow. At Indian Ayurveda Center, we use authentic Ayurvedic herbal medicines from Kottakkal Aryavaidyasala, India’s leading and trusted herbal medicine manufacturer.

Detoxification and cleansing in Ayurveda skincare

Ayurveda emphasises internal cleansing for external skin health. Panchakarma, a comprehensive detoxification process, helps eliminate toxins and purify the body. Ayurveda believes the skin can absorb nutrients better and stay healthy by removing impurities. Additionally, gentle daily practices like dry brushing and oil massage (Abhyangam) stimulate lymphatic flow, remove dead skin cells and improve circulation, contributing to a radiant complexion.
