Understanding Ayurvedic Skin Types
Ayurveda classifies skin into three primary types, known as doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha exhibits distinct characteristics:
- Vata Skin: Typically dry and thin, Vata skin requires ample hydration to maintain its suppleness.
- Pitta Skin: Sensitive and prone to redness, Pitta skin benefits from gentle, cooling care to soothe and balance.
- Kapha Skin: Oily and thick, Kapha skin necessitates thorough cleansing to manage excess oil and prevent congestion.
Identifying your skin type is the first step toward achieving a balanced and radiant complexion.
