Learn more about Ayurvedic Skin-TypingThe trend toward more "scientific" skin care in the last 30 years has led to the introduction of the concept of 3 basic "skin types": dry, oily and normal. We have been conditioned to determine what kind of skin by how much or how little oil it produces. Skin typing, while useful in a topical diagnostic way, is overly simplistic and does not get at the root cause of how or why the skin has become imbalanced. Once the cause has been addressed, the condition can be effectively treated The Ayurvedic system focuses on the root causes of skin imbalance rather than treating the symptoms. KAPHA - Reflecting the elements of earth and water. Kapha types may appear blessed to enjoy smooth, supple skin with no apparent issues. VATA or Mature skin in general has a thinner epithelial layer, lacks moisture and shows facial lines, dark spots, discoloration and wrinkles as well as sun damage. PITTA - Reflecting the fire element, your skin may be sensitive and may flare-up occasionally. Pitta skin may break out before the menstrual cycle, or, for older women, this type of skin may have been blemish-free until the late forties.
