We will conclude the article with an exploration of important themes in Ayurvedic skincare such as nutrition and herbal allies as they pertain specifically to skin health.

Following an Ayurvedic skincare routine

With regards to the health of the first two dhatus which are most evidently represented in the skin, nutrition and hydration are of utmost importance. The food we eat and liquids we drink are processed by the digestive tract and directly enter these first two tissues. Thus the skin becomes a mirror of imbalances in digestion. For example, insufficient fluid intake leads to dry and dehydrated skin, while inflammation in the GI tract can lead to excess heat; eruptions and inflammation in the skin.

Skin hydration tip

For plump and smooth skin, drink a cup of warm water first thing in the morning and sip room temp or warmer to half your body weight in ounces. For example if you weigh 120 lbs, drink 60 oz water per day.

When the digestive system is impaired, undigested food can accumulate in the GI tract causing toxins or Ama. These toxins, like the imbalances of Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas can also spread to the first two dhatus causing clogging of the pores and imbalances such as acne. Aside from proper eating habits to ensure optimal digestion, cleansing of the lower digestive tract is of utmost importance within Ayurvedic skincare.

Skin clarity tip

Use a virecana (Ayurvedic bowel support) such as Triphala, Bhumyamalaki, or Sat Isabgol to keep the bowels regular and keep the skin clear. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to determine which virecana suits you and which dosage is appropriate.
