Ayurvedic Secrets for Glowing Skin
Who doesn't want glowing, healthy, and beautiful skin? There are countless products available for skincare, but after all, beauty is a state of being that starts from within. Ayurveda, the ancients of Indian sciences of life, has been used for centuries and provides time-tested wisdom for health and beauty in its truest sense. Ayurveda reveals a way to receive glowing skin without the use of chemicals or expensive treatments.
Let's take a look at some of the greatest Ayurvedic secrets posed by nature that can be incorporated into your life, which will help you nurture or cultivate your skin for its natural radiance.
1. Know Your Skin Type (Dosha)
In Ayurveda, everyone and each skin type is special! The three doshas are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Here is a breakdown of each dosha with its corresponding skin type:
● Vata - Dry, thin, and rough/wrinkly skin
● Pitta - Sensitive, fair, and mildly red/acne-prone skin
● Kapha - Oily, thick, and dull/enlarged pores skin
Knowing your dosha allows you to select the proper skin care, diet, and lifestyle for you. For example, Vata skin requires more moisture and warmth. Pitta skin will need a cooler/calm from the elements and will benefit from cooling and calming products. Kapha skin requires detoxifying products that are light.
2. Eat Fresh and Nourishing Items
"You are what you eat!" You have heard this a million times! Ayurvedic medicine takes this quite literally, especially when it comes to skincare. The skin is a reflection of what is happening inside the body. In order for your skin to glisten, you need to consume fresh, seasonal, natural food. These items will include:
✅ Fresh produce, preferably fruits and vegetables (leafy greens and juicy fruits)
✅ Healthy fats (seeds, nuts, ghee, avocado)
✅ Whole grains (rice, quinoa, and millets)
✅ And spices (turmeric, ginger, and cumin) for digestion and inflammation
Heavily processed, packaged, and fried foods must be avoided because they build toxins in your body, which can present as things such as breakouts, dull skin, and rashes.
3. Hydrate the Ayurvedic Way
Hydrating correctly is the magic key behind bouncy, glowing skin! In Ayurveda, the recommendation is to not drink ice-cold water while sitting for your meals. During the rest of the day, drink warm or room temperature water.
You can also enjoy herbal teas such as Red tea, Blue booster tea. These teas hydrate and help purify your system. Lukewarm water helps to digest food, flush out toxins, and helps make skin smooth and supple.
4. Get Good Sleep and Manage Stress
Good sleep is one of the most understated beauty secrets! Ayurveda recommends going to bed early (around 10 PM) and waking up early (around 6 AM) to allow your body to become balanced.
Stress can also affect your skin which can show signs of aging. You may have deep wrinkles, yeast infection, dull skin or break out due to stress in your life. In order to help manage stress, use Ayurvedic practices such as meditation, pranayama (deep breathing), yoga, or spend time in nature.
5. Regular Detox
Ayurveda focuses on managing toxic build-up in the body due to poor digestive function, poor diet and stressful living. These toxins prevent the skin from its natural glow.
To do a gentle detox you could:
✅ Drink a warm cup of lemon water in the morning
✅ Eat warm, light digestible food
6. Exercise and Move Your Body
Moving your body and getting your blood flowing will enhance circulation and provide fresh oxygen and nutrients to nourish your skin. Ayurveda recommends regular gentle exercise (yoga, walking or dancing) to keep your body and skin healthy.
By sweating with exercise, you are also eliminating toxins and impurities, which will leave your skin looking fresh and clean.
7. Cultivate Positive Emotions
Ayurveda recognises the link between your mind, emotional state and skin. Generally, positive emotions like joy, gratitude and love will enhance your natural glow, which will show up on your face.
Remember to treat yourself kindly, refrain from negative self-talk and surround yourself with people and activities that inspire and uplift you. The beautiful inner light you possess will shine through your skin.
8. Protect Your Skin from Pollution and the Sun
Ayurveda talks about using natural skin protectors such as coconut oil, aloe vera gel, and sandalwood paste especially if you're using Pitta-speed sensitive skin, so in a way it's another beneficial tool of modern sunscreens.
Omdhatu's Tip: After being in the sun, apply a cooling, calming herbal product to diminish redness and alleviate inflammation.
9. Ayurvedic Teas for Inner Glow
A balanced internal force, a calm mind, and a healthy digestive system are all reflected in clear and radiant skin. Using herbal teas and infusions to nourish your skin from the inside out is one of Ayurveda's best-kept secrets for radiant skin.
Why Ayurvedic teas to support our skin health?
In Ayurveda, skin concerns such as acne, dullness, or pigmentation are often associated with excess heat (Pitta), built-up toxins (Ama) or sluggish digestion (Agni imbalance). Tea is an herbal infusion made with skin-loving herbs that help you to:
✅ Eliminate toxins
✅ Cool the body
✅ Aid digestion
✅ Balance doshas
✅ Hydrate the tissues
Ayurvedic teas support your internal balance and will work at the root of your skin issues rather than just relieving the symptoms.
Omdhatu Ayurveda Recommendation: Yellow Tea
Our Yellow Tea has been thoughtfully crafted to provide clarity and glow for your skin. The gentle and detoxifying herbs in this special blend help eliminate impurities, cool internal heat and inflammation, and foster a healthy gut; all essential ingredients for glowing skin.
Key Benefits:
- Better digestion and metabolism
- Less internal heat, reduced inflammation
- Hydrated and moisturized skin
- Antioxidant support fighting free radicals
Drink one warm cup of Yellow Tea a day, especially in the morning, as a daily icing on the cake of your skin-friendly routine!
10. Moisturize Profusely with Ayurvedic Oils
Where modern skincare prefers lighter-weight gel creams or creams, Ayurveda appreciates the deep nutrient nourishing power of herbal facial oils. Oils penetrate the more demanding depths of epidermis that additives tend not to reach, giving your skin vital nutrients, antioxidants, and fatty acids that reinforce the skin barrier, elevate elasticity, and reduce the effects of aging.
An exquisite example is the Mukh Kanti Face Oil, which is described as a luxurious oil made with turmeric, saffron, rose, and various other herbs used by ayurvedic medicine for their brightening, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating properties on the skin.
Though it's in oil form, when you put on this beautiful golden oil gently to damp skin after cleansing the oil absorbs very well - leaving the skin soft, pliable, and naturally glowing, with no oily or greasiness.
Pro tip: Warm the oil in your palms first, and take a minute to massage it into the skin and apply upward strokes with it from the chin up to the forehead. Anything that enhances the circulation not only helps brain function but also improves any inner glow you may possess.
