15 AYURVEDIC SKIN CARE TIPS FOR GORGEOUS SKIN

Did you know that the largest external organ in our body is the skin? Our skin is a mirror of our health, and establishing an easy to follow Ayurvedic skincare is a truly holistic way to nourish it. Here are 15 easy ways to take care of your skin the Ayurvedic way.

1. Detox your body from time to time

Detoxifying the body internally at the onset of a new season is a part of Ayurveda. The best season to detoxify is spring. This involves giving your body a break and releasing all the waste that may have accumulated in your body. A cleanse can range from 3 days to several days.

It can be customized according to your dosha. You can do a short cleanse at home or a longer programme at an Ayurvedic clinic.

2. Hydrate with water and fresh juices

One of the Ayurveda skincare staples is drinking a sufficient amount of water on a daily basis. Not only does this hydrate your body, improve digestion, and fight constipation, but it also helps to moisturize your skin from the inside out.

You can decide the temperature of your drinking water on the basis of your dosha. Vata can drink warm water, Pitta can have it at room temperature and hot water is recommended for Kapha. But for all dosha’s try and have at least 7-8 glasses of water every day.

For healthy glowing skin, drink a glass of lemon water in the morning.

3. Say bye to alcohol, tobacco and coffee

No Ayurvedic skincare routine can succeed unless you avoid these 3 things – alcohol, tobacco and coffee.

Drinking and smoking dehydrates your skin and makes it prone to early ageing. Ayurvedic doctors ask you to stay away from tobacco, alcohol & coffee for healthier and youthful skin.

Its a well-known fact that your skin becomes better after quitting smoking & drinking. But c’mon, you didn’t need me to tell you this, you knew it anyway.
