How to gain natural beauty

Ayurveda, the ancient and natural form of medicine, has always embraced the mantra “beauty comes from within.” This 5000-year-old ancient Indian science has gifted us some proven tips to get healthy and beautiful skin by avoiding many skin problems.

So, are you ready to learn the miraculous traditions of Ayurveda to keep your skin clear, soft and glowing without spending a fortune or using harmful chemicals?

Why should our skin be healthy?

Skin health is an important factor in Ayurveda, not only as an element of one’s beauty, but more importantly as an external indicator of one’s internal health. Skin health is a reflection of what’s going on inside, both physically and emotionally.

Common causes of skin problems

• If you are experiencing skin-related problems like acne, pigmentation, wrinkles, dark circles, blemishes, eczema, psoriasis, rash, itching, excessive dryness or dullness; So it means that there is an imbalance in diet or lifestyle which could be a reason.
  According to Ayurveda, there are many external and internal factors that damage the skin, such as –
• poor digestion
• toxins in the system
• blood impurities
• excessive body heat
• eating allergic foods
• external irritants such as perfumes, detergents, or chemicals
• Harsh face wash or soap (containing alcohol, dyes, perfumes or chemicals)
• use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs
• exposure to the harsh rays of the sun
• pollution
• seasonal changes
• high tension
• insufficient sleep
• reduced immunity
• low water intake
• unhealthy eating
• lack of exercise
• emotional disturbance

Skincare according to Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, the skin consists of six layers, which are not only located superficially but also extend to the deeper levels of the body. Skin diseases, mostly, are deeply rooted in various tissues like fat, muscles, blood etc.

Most skin treatments are generally external applications such as creams or oils. However, they never reach the deeper layers of the skin.

As a result, the symptoms disappear temporarily, and the disease is not permanently rooted out. Ayurveda always tries to eliminate it from the root by doing special treatment according to the cause of the disease. Since the disease is deep it is difficult to cure the problem quickly. Ayurvedic treatment may take a few weeks to relieve the symptoms but the diseases are treated permanently.

Herbs for skin care

There are innumerable herbs in Ayurveda which help in improving complexion and beautifying the skin, such as –

• Sandalwood
• Saffron
• Turmeric
• manjishtha
• Lodhra

Merely adding Ayurvedic herbs or extracts to a cosmetic product does not make it Ayurvedic. A herb may have powerful healing properties, but when used alone or in inappropriate combinations, it sometimes does more harm than good. Therefore, please consult an expert Ayurvedic practitioner before using any Ayurvedic medicine or herb.

Ayurvedic remedies are good for correcting any skin imperfections and can be used in conjunction with these other recommendations for more powerful results.
