Daily Skincare Steps
Your skin type depends on the three Doshas. While Vata Dosha means dry and coarse skin susceptible to wrinkles, Pitta Dosha has oily skin inclined to acne and related issues. Kapha Dosha skin can be cold and oily, and suffer from whiteheads.
Ayurvedic herbs have benefits for skin types and requirements. The routine must be followed fully for the benefits. Patanjali offers Ayurvedic products for it. Here are the routine steps:
Cleansing: This first step clears the skin of dirt and pollutants. While Kapha skin can opt for cleansers from Neem, Saffron, Tea Tree Oil, Manjistha, Lemon, Multani Mitti and Turmeric, Pitta skin can choose cleansers of Aloe Vera, Chamomile and Rose Water. Vata skin should use cleansers from Honey, Almond Oil, Aloe Vera, Sesame Oil and Rose Water. Those with oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin pick Honey Orange Face Wash (120 Gms). It has an Ayurvedic blend of Honey, Orange, Mulethi, Neem, Turmeric and Tulsi that act as an antiseptic to remove dirt and pollutants and prevent acne and pimples. The Mulethi provides freshness, while you get soft, smooth and flowing skin with the help of Honey and Aloe Vera. The excess oil production is controlled.
