Beauty is the perfection of what is visually perceived.  If vata is predominant the skin of a person is dry, rough, cold, thin with fine pores and wrinkled.  In pitta is predominant, the skin is fair, delicate and red toned with freckles, acne and burns easily.  In case of kapha the skin is oily, smooth, moist and thick with a tendency towards larger pores.  The outer signs of beauty skin, hair and nails are the direct reflections of your overall health.  Ayurveda mentions many simple natural ways to maintain healthy and for a glowing skin.  Therefore, using these natural ways, one can stay beautiful and charming for a longer period without having to suffer the side effects of the chemicals.

Ayurvedic Skin Care

Healthy internal radiance is regarded by Ayurveda as the true definition of beauty.  The skin is seen as the mirror of inner health.  The external body is simply the manifestation of everything that happens inside, including our emotions.  By addressing the components of our life, we can control our skin's health.

At the heart of Ayurveda is a detailed system of diagnosis according to constitutional types (dosha).  In the aesthetics of Ayurveda, we notice stress shown on the skin in different ways.  Our skin may be dehydrated, oily, acne prone or subjected to occasional or frequent rashes, depending on our constitutional type.  As we age, most of us are aware that our skin just doesn't look as good as it could-doesn't have a glow to it.

In Ayurvedic aesthetics, healing mixtures of pure herbs are often mixed from literally hundreds of possible combinations according to the condition and constitution of the client, then a therapeutic facial massage follows.  Ayurvedic facials consist of varying combinations of marma points or lymphatic massage, breathing techniques, hydrotherapy and aromatherapy.  In general given the right support, cleansing and nourishing, skin can naturally bring itself into harmony.

Kapha, EARTH type of Skin

People with Kapha type of skin are Earth predominant and also have a strong water element.  The characteristics of Kapha are oily, cold, heavy, soft, slow, dense dull and lubricating.  The skin imbalances can be identified by the following characteristics, cool, fair, oily and thick skin, large pores with proneness to cystic acne and deep wrinkles.

Vata, AIR type of Skin

These people are born with predominantly Vata, air and ether elements.  The characteristics of Vata are light, dry, cold, rough and mobile.  Vata type of skin imbalance is seen as thin, dry, rough and cold, prone to premature aging.  A lack of sebum occurs because the sebaceous glands are low in number and are sluggish.  The small pores characteristic of this type of skin lose water quickly.  The loss of water leads to tiny superficial wrinkles.  Signs of aging, therefore appear much faster for Vata constitutions than with other types of skin.

Pitta, FIRE type of Skin

People with Pitta type of skin are Fire predominant and also have a strong Water element.  The characteristics of Pitta are slightly oily, hot, light, mobile, sour-smelling, sharp fluid, and pungent.  Pitta skin imbalance is usually warm, reddish, sensitive, with blotchy red patches, medium pores with large pores in the T-zone, and proneness to blackheads and allergic reactions.
