Ayurvedic cosmetology is a holistic approach to beauty and wellness, emphasizing the importance of balance and harmony within the body. This ancient science focuses on natural beauty, promoting healthy, glowing skin through various treatments and practices. The key principles of Ayurvedic cosmetology include Dinacharya (daily routine), Ritucharya (seasonal routine), Ahara (diet), and Achara (lifestyle). By establishing a consistent daily routine, adapting skin care to seasonal changes, eating nutrient-rich foods, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle, individuals can achieve radiant skin.
In Ayurveda, skin types are categorized into three: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vata skin is dry, sensitive, and prone to wrinkles, while Pitta skin is oily, sensitive, and prone to acne. Kapha skin is oily, thick, and prone to blackheads.
Specially designed skin care treatments as per the conditions are available at maitri ayurveda.
