Ayurveda is a wonderful system that can be used for internal and external pain, whether it’s skin, hair or body. It is always a good idea to use ayurvedic treatments and remedies for skin care. Ayurvedic skin care remedies are tailored to specific skin types. Ayurvedic treatments such as body and face oils or packs, scrubs or ubtans can nourish your skin and help treat acne. They also remove blemishes and open up clogged pores.
1. What is your Dosha?
Ayurvedic treatment is based on skin type. Ayurveda states that an individual’s dosha type can be Vata (air), Pitta(fire), or Kapha(water and earth). Each skin type reflects a dominant dosha characteristic and requires specific treatments based on that dosha.
* Vata Dosha : Individuals with vata dominant dosha will have dry, rough skin. It can feel cool and become flaky or dehydrated in cold and windy weather. Use warm oils or nourishing lotions to moisturize and nourish the skin.
* Pitta Dosha : Individuals with pitta dominating their dosha have an oily complexion that is prone to acne or rosacea. They are prone to skin sensitivity, redness and inflammation, as well as acne and rashes. This is especially true in humid or hot environments. These people need cooling and soothing treatments that use anti-inflammatory oils and herbs to cool down the skin.
* Kapha Dosha : Individuals with kapha dominant dosha have a cold, oily, and often acne-prone skin. They are also more prone to clogged or blackheads pores. Regular cleansing and mild peeling is required to remove sebum and impurities.
2. Regular Cleaning:
You should always start your day by cleaning your face. Natural cleansers can be used to remove dirt, makeup, and impurities. Raw milk is a great option for this step. It will cleanse your face and hydrate it. Use Shankara’s customized Hydrating Cleansers, which are made with ayurvedic and clean ingredients. They will provide maximum benefits to your skin and satisfy its needs.
3. Hydrate & Moisturize:
The key to glowing, flawless skin is hydration. To keep your skin looking soft, supple, and to avoid flaky and dry skin, you must lock in moisture and hydrate. Aloe Vera Gel is an excellent moisturizer that works for all skin types. Consider using Shankara Moisturizers. They are available in different types to suit your skin.
4. Use herbal face masks
Herbal face masks help to nourish your skin deeply, stimulate cell regeneration and restore its natural glow. All natural ingredients are used to make this mask, which is gentle and safe for the skin. Consider using Shankara’s Deep Pore Cleansing Mask. This mask is made with White Clay, Tea Tree Oil and Neem. It restores your skin’s natural glow and radiance. It penetrates deep into the skin’s layers to remove impurities and excess oil, and gives a fresh and healthy look.
5. Nutritious Natural Oils for Your Skin:
Ayurveda places great importance on natural and ayurvedic oil. It is designed to provide optimum nutrition, protection and rapid healing for the skin. You can use ayurvedic oils like Kumkumadi oil by Shankara, which is made by stirring Ayurvedic ingredients such as red-gold saffron over a slow fire for several days. It is designed to nourish, moisturize and brighten the skin.
6. Gentle Exfoliation
You should exfoliate your skin once or twice a week depending on your skin type. A gentle exfoliation helps remove impurities and excess sebum. It also unclogs pores. Mild exfoliation with Besan, gram flour and milk will remove impurities. The best and ideal exfoliator, Shankara’s Gheesutra Nourishing Exfoliator contains 100x washed Ghee.

Abhyanga is the Ayurvedic term for massaging your skin using natural oils and ayurvedic oil. It promotes a glowing complexion, helps detoxify and improve circulation. Choose from the wide variety of ayurvedic oils to suit your body’s needs and preferences. A gentle circular massage helps to rejuvenate skin and balance the doshas.
8. Sip Herbal tea:
Herbal tea helps to detoxify the digestive system and also promotes a healthy, radiant complexion. Green tea has antioxidants that help reduce wrinkles, fine lines and early signs of ageing. It can also help to reduce acne and breakouts, as well as maintain flawless skin.
8. Follow Healthy Diet:
A healthy diet should include green leafy vegetables and legumes. Also, you can add fruits, milk products, lentils, pulses and sprouts to your diet. Sugar, aerated beverages, and junk foods can cause more damage to your skin and body than you think. They also lower the resistance of the body to flu and infections.
9. Lifestyle Changes
Ayurveda suggests following dinacharya. This includes waking up early and performing self-care rituals. It also recommends pranayama, meditation, eating nutritious and healthy cooked food and getting a good night’s sleep.
Ayurveda promotes holistic health, and following a self-care routine will not only give you a radiant and glowing skin, but will also improve your overall health.
