For a holistic skin care – know your skin type

Pollution and exposure to dirt, dust and sunlight can make the skin look dull and lifeless. Proper circulation of vital life fluids and flushing toxins & waste materials from body on regular basis are the best way to retain youth and beauty. An ayurvedic skin care regimen i.e. cleansing, toning & moisturizing can be an effective therapy to combat the wreckage caused by modern living and can also act as anxiety reliever.


What is Ayurveda?

Ayur means “vital energy” and veda means “science”. It's an ancient Indian science that aims to attain health, longevity and enlightenment. If we understand and follow Ayurveda, we can stay balanced mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

As per Ayurveda, everything in the universe including human body consists of five elements namely earth, water, fire, air and space. All human beings contain these 5 elements in varying amounts. When energetic equivalent of breath (prana) meets these 5 elements, then doshas are formed. Vata, Pitta and Kapha, these are the 3 doshas according to ayurvedic principals.
