In today’s world filled with chemical-based beauty products, our skin is often the first to suffer. But what if you could achieve glowing, healthy skin with the power of ancient Ayurveda?
Let’s explore a simple yet effective Ayurvedic skincare routine that nourishes your skin from within and brings out your natural radiance.
Why Choose Ayurveda for Skincare?
Ayurveda believes that beauty is a reflection of inner health. Your skin glows when your doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) are balanced, your digestion (Agni) is strong, and your body is toxin-free. Unlike chemical cosmetics, Ayurveda treats the root cause of dullness, acne, or pigmentation — not just the symptoms.
Morning Ayurvedic Skincare Ritual
Start your day with this healing, balancing ritual:
– Wake Up and Hydrate : Drink a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon to flush out toxins (Ama) and awaken digestion.
– Oil Pulling : Swish coconut or sesame oil in your mouth for 5–10 minutes. It detoxifies your system and improves skin clarity.
– Abhyanga (Self Massage) : Massage your body with herbal oil like Nalpamaradi, Kumkumadi tailam or coconut oil. This boosts circulation, removes toxins, and deeply nourishes skin.
For face: Use Kumkumadi tailam or Jatyadi oil (depending on skin type).
– Gentle Herbal Cleansing : Use natural face cleansers like
- Raw milk (Vata skin)
- Sandalwood + rosewater (Pitta skin)
- Multani mitti + neem powder (Kapha skin)
Avoid harsh soaps. Use herbal ubtan once or twice a week.
Daytime Ayurvedic Skincare Tips
– Toner : Spray rose water or cucumber juice for hydration and cooling.
– Moisturiser : Use Aloe vera gel with a few drops of almond oil or Kumkumadi oil for softness and glow.
– Sun Protection : Natural SPF options:
- Sandalwood paste
- Aloe vera
- Or a herbal sunscreen (chemical-free)
Avoid direct sun between 11 AM – 3 PM.
Night time Ritual for Skin Repair
– Cleanse Gently : Use raw milk or a mild Ayurvedic cleanser.
– Face Oil or Night Cream : Apply a few drops of Kumkumadi Tailam or Manjistha-infused oil before sleeping. Massage in upward strokes. Let the oil absorb overnight.
– Sleep Well : Sleep before 10 PM. Deep rest helps skin heal and glow.
Inner Skincare – Diet & Lifestyle
Your skin reflects your inner health. Here’s how to eat for glowing skin:
- Eat freshly cooked, seasonal food
- Include bitter & astringent tastes (like turmeric, neem, karela)
- Use ghee – improves skin softness
- Drink warm water, avoid cold or carbonated drinks
- Reduce sugar, fried food & packaged snacks
- Try Triphala at night – detoxifies skin and gut
Include:
- Yoga (Surya Namaskar, face yoga)
- Pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom)
- Meditation to reduce stress-related skin problems
