In this article, we will explain how Ayurvedic cosmetics can help you plan a personalized skincare routine based on natural ingredients.

But first, let's start with the fundamentals: "What is Ayurveda?"


Understand Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is a traditional medicine of Indian origin, whose objective is to establish a perfect balance between body, mind, senses and soul. Following the principles of Ayurveda would ensure that everyone lives in good health, in a state of general well-being, while delaying the aging process. The means to implement to follow an Ayurvedic routine are:

    a healthy diet,
    a healthy lifestyle,
    rituals of care of the body, skin and hair.
    relaxation and meditation exercises.

What is an Ayurvedic skincare routine?

When we talk about beauty rituals in Ayurveda, we talk about care, not makeup.

Indeed, Ayurveda focuses its attention on the natural beauty care that makes you feel good in your body. Regular care that allows the skin to retain its shine and elasticity. Then installs an Ayurvedic skincare routine, which contributes to our harmony.

The beauty rituals of the 3 doshas.

Before adopting an Ayurvedic skincare routine, it is necessary to know how to differentiate the 3 doshas that represent the vital energy of Ayurvedic medicine. It will then determine the one that suits you.

Vata, Pitta and Kapha are the 3 doshas.

Each is the combination of two of the five great elements: fire, water, earth, air and ether (equated with space). Doshas determine your physical and spiritual characteristics.

Each of us is made up of the three doshas, ​​but at different proportions. It is very rare for an individual to be made up of 3 doshas in equal proportions.

Generally the constitution is mixed, with a dominant dosha, an important second and a minor last. The ideal is to find a balance between these 3 constitutions, and therefore reduce the impact of the present excess dosha, which causes disease, difficulties and malaise.

As you will have understood, the goal of Ayurveda is to reduce excess doshas in order to restore balance and harmony.

To determine your constitution, it is necessary to take into account several physical criteria:

    the appearance of the body,
    the weight,
    the skin,
    the hair,
    the teeth

And also psychological criteria:

    Memory,
    the sleep,
    creativity,
    libido,
    dreams,
    the character…

You may discover that you have a dominant dosha related to your character, and another different, related to your physical appearance.

In the next paragraph, we will focus on this second point because it is this one that is essential to build your Ayurvedic skincare routine.
