INTRODUCTION According to Ayurveda, the skin has seven layers, located not only superficially but extending to the deeper levels of the body. A skin disease is, mostly, rooted deeply into various dhatus or tissues like fat, muscles, blood etc. Most skin treatments are generally external applications like creams or oils. These, however, never reach the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, the symptoms disappear temporarily, and the disease is not rooted out permanently. Ayurveda always tries to root out the disease by treating it specifically according to its cause. As the disease is deep seated it is difficult to fix the problem quickly. [1] Ayurvedic skin treatment may take a few week to remove the symptoms but the disease are treated permanently. MATERIALS AND METHOD How to Know our Ayurvedic Skin Type? The first step in the holistic Ayurvedic approach to skin care is finding out your Ayurvedic skin type. Vata skin is generally dry, thin, delicate and cool to the touch, easily gets dehydrated and is very vulnerable to the influence of dry windy weather. Vata Skin May age faster, and tends to be dry, rough and flaky when out of balance. Pitta Skin tends to be fair, sensitive, soft, warm and of medium thickness. Less tolerant to hot food and to fireness in temperament. Pitta Skin Types tend to be more prone to freckles and Mayank et al. / Pharma Science Monitor 9(1), Jan-Mar 2018, 570-573 Impact factor: 3.958/ICV: 4.10 ISSN: 0976-7908 571 moles than the other skin types. When out of balance, Pitta Skin can flare up in rashes, acne or sunspots. Kapha Skin tends to have all the qualities of water and earth. It can be oily, Thick, Pale, Soft, cool and more tolerant to Sun. Kapha skin tends to age slower and forms less wrinkles than the other two types. Kapha skin may struggle with dull complexion, enlarged pores, excessive oil, blackheads, pimples, moist type of eczema and water retention. “Combination” Skin can be Vata-Pitta , Skin i.e both dry and sensitive, Kapha-pitta Skin is oily and sensitive, and Vata-Kapha Skin i.e generally dry with some oily zones. [2] The Ayurvedic approach to caring for combination skin takes into account environmental and seasonal factors. For Example, A person with Vata-pitta skin would follow the recommendations for pitta-skin in summer and Vata skin in winter. The Kapha-Pitta type would follow pitta recommendations in summer and Kapha recommendations in winter. The Vata- Kapha type would be best served by generally following Vata guidelines, with extra cleansing of the oily zone. Vata Skin Care- For Vata skin to stay youthful, skin care products used should be very nurturing. They must include some essential oils and herbs in combination, which can nourish the skin and rehydrate it, otherwise it may be susceptible to wrinkles and premature ageing. Going to bed on time, eating regular meals, and following a regular daily routine are essential components of a holistic approach to Vata skin care, as are eating foods that help balance Vata and nourish the Vata skin. Suggestions for Vata Skin Vata Skin types for instance, will want to eat warmer, unctuous foods and favor the sweet, sour salty tastes to balance the dry, rough, moving Vata Dosha. Drinks Lots of lukewarm water every day for internal hydration. [3] Eat plenty of sweet juicy fruits, they help cleanse the body from within and provide hydration as well. Include a little healthy fat such as Ghee or Olive Oil in your diet for added lubrication. A warm oil Self massage is excellent for keeping skin lubricated. Provide added deep lipid support with facial oil. Get plenty of rest so your mind as well as body have the opportunity to recharge. Pitta Skin Care- The pitta skin type needs both cooling and nurturing. Use skin care Products that help to enhance resistant to the sun. Avoid tanning treatment and therapies that expose you delegate, sensitive skin to steam for extended periods of time. The Ayurvedic herb flame of forest ( Butea Mayank et al. / Pharma Science Monitor 9(1), Jan-Mar 2018, 570-573 Impact factor: 3.958/ICV: 4.10 ISSN: 0976-7908 572 monosperma ) can help to protect pitta skin from photosensitivity. But like other Ayurvedic herbs it needs to be used in combination with other herbs for a balance effect on the skin. Suggestions for Pitta Skins If you have pitta skin type you will thrive on sweet, bitter and astringent tastes, as found in sweet, juicy fruits, rose petal preserve, and cooked greens. Avoid hot, spicy foods. Stay away from harsh synthetic cosmetics as they can damage your sensitive skin and cause breakouts use cooling oil, Such as coconut oil, for daily massage. Take extra care to protect your skin when you go out in the sun. Use gentle, natural skin care products for cleansing and moisturizing. Provide added lipid support such as facial skin oil every other day. Kapha Skin Care- Because of its thickness and oiliness, Kapha skin is more prone to accumulate Ama - toxins under the skin. People with kapha skin needs to be detoxified on regular basis. Both internal detoxification and external detoxification can be used to flush out toxins from the skin. Suggestions for Kapha Skin The oiliness of Kapha type skin calls for a diet that is warmer, lighter, less oily and free of heavy, hard to digest foods. Eating more bitter, astringent and pungent tastes help to stimulate digestion and balance kapha skin. Exercise every day to improve circulation. A daily warm oil Massage can also help in circulation. Eat plenty of organic vegetables and foods to help cleans the body from within. Cleanse your skin twice every day, exfoliate with a mud mask at least once a week. Cook with warming spices such as ginger and black pepper to stoke the digestive fire and inhibit the accumulation of ama inside the body .[4] General Remedies [5] Removing the root cause is the main line of treatment in Ayurveda Therefore eliminating all the food and activities that increase Pitta is the main treatment. Here are some general remedies for all kind of skin diseases. • Prepare a powder by mixing equal quantities of turmeric, Amalki and Neem leaves. One tea spoon of this powder can be taken twice a day with water. In case Amalki and Neem are not available only turmeric powder can be used in the dosages of half a tea spoon twice a day with water. • If Neem leaves are available, boil them in water every day and wash the affected area with it. Soaps and shampoos should not be used on the affected area. Mayank et al. / Pharma Science Monitor 9(1), Jan-Mar 2018, 570-573 Impact factor: 3.958/ICV: 4.10 ISSN: 0976-7908 573 • Take 100 ml of coconut oil and add 5 grams of powder camphor toit. Put this mixture in a glass bottle and screw the cap on tightly. Put the bottle in sunlight for two hours. Applying this mixture on the affected area is helpful. • Taking soft or mild laxatives to clear the bowels is also beneficial in treatment of skin diseases. A teaspoonful of Triphala Powder can be taken at bed time every night, with warm water. Any other natural laxative such as figs and raisins can also be taken. • Aloe vera is also beneficial for skin diseases as it purifies the blood. Fresh aloe vera gel can be taken in a dose of two to three TSF empty stomach every day. Do’s and Don’t for Naturally Beautiful Skin [6] 1) Avoid the exposure of skin to sun. 2) Keep a note what we eat, fresh fruits, fresh fruits, ample amount of protein and vitamins and avoidance of spicy, fermented food, salt and fried food are essentially to be avoided. 3) Sweating is really important for a healthy skin hence regular exercise, jogging and yoga will give our body necessary blood circulation. 4) Proper sleep of 7- 8 hrs. every night is necessary required to keep skin healthy. 5) Proper amount of hydration is essentially required by body. 6) Avoid excessive use of cosmetics which are never healthy for skin. 7) Smoking must be avoided to have a healthy and glowing skin.

Our goal was to eat less processed food and enjoy more “real food.” At the time, I thought our decision was one that would simply change our meals, nothing more. I never thought that our decision would change the way we clean and what we put on our skin. Oh how I was wrong! That one decision resulted in a total lifestyle change for our young family. After a few years of eating real food, I began to question not only the products we called “food,” but also the products being used on our skin and in our home. This questioning led to a quest to “clean up” our cleaning products. Soon, I found myself purchasing, and using, castile soap and 6 NATURAL BODY CARE SIMPLIFIED NATURAL BODY CARE SIMPLIFIED baking soda, glass spray bottles, and homemade dryer balls.

They were typically produced by female slaves known as “cosmetae,” which is where the word “cosmetics” stemmed from. Cosmetics are used to enhance appearance. Makeup has been around for many centuries. The first known people who used cosmetics to enhance their beauty were the Egyptians. Makeup those days was just simple eye coloring or some material for the body. Now-a-days makeup plays an important role for both men and women. In evolutionary psychology, social competition of appearance strengthens women’s desires for ideal beauty. According to “The Origin of Species”, humans have evolved to transfer genes to future generations through sexual selection that regards the body condition of ideal beauty as excellent fertility. Additionally, since women’s beauty has recently been considered a competitive advantage to create social power, a body that meets the social standards of a culture could achieve limited social resources. That's right, even men have become more beauty conscious and are concerned about their looks. Cosmetics can be produced in the organic and hypoallergenic form to meet the demands of users.

  • How to Obtain and Maintain Beautiful Naturally Healthy Skin
    How to Obtain and Maintain Beautiful Naturally Healthy Skin Skin is something everyone, especially women, strives to maintain looking beautiful, youthful, and glowing. It is the organ in our body that receives the most external exposure to all of the dirt, UV-rays, and toxins in our world. Keeping your skin healthy is important to the overall health of your body because it is your first line of defense and the first barrier and filtration system for your body against the outside world. Most of us use products to help protect our skin, moisturize it, and even enhance it. It is an industry that makes roughly $160 billion dollars annually. While these products can be beneficial, it is important to look at the ingredients in them. 33% of personal care products contain at least one chemical linked to cancer. 22% of cosmetics are contaminated with the possible cancer causing impurity 1,4-dioxane. Also, on average there are 10 ingredients that are banned by the FDA in cosmetics in the United States. It is important to take a look at the ingredients in your cosmetics and lotions to make sure they contain 100% all-natural or organic products. Also avoid any products that use Perabans, which are being linked to cancer. Improving your diet and lifestyle is also extremely beneficial to the health of your skin. Your skin turns ultraviolet rays into vitamin D, so about 15 minutes of direct sun-exposure is recommended daily. But don’t forget to apply your sunscreen every hour and a half when outside your skin is protected.

  • Southern Scentsations Body Butters
    Southern Scentsations Body Butters The Basics Most body butters are based on a recipe that includes some form of plant butter, such as coco butter, mango butter or Shea butter. Oils, such as jojoba oil, are often added for the silky feeling. There are many combinations that can be made. We have listed some of the most popular butters and oils used in body butter recipes below, if you need a Whipped body butter recipe please ask an associate. Jojoba Oil Jojoba oil is widely used in cosmetics and is often added to body butter. Its chemical structure is very similar to that of the oils in human skin. It is the most readily absorbed plant based oil. Jojoba oil is helpful in reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It has antibacterial properties. Jojoba is beneficial as a moisturizer. The waxy oil-like substance hydrates the skin, hair and nails while it provides nutrients. In addition to providing a protective coating on the skin to keep bacteria and grime out and moisture in, it also helps to reduce and to prevent wrinkles and stretch marks. Jojoba has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it a useful treatment for acne, skin wounds and to soothe mild infections. Jojoba oil is hypo-allergenic, so it will not cause reactions on the skin and will not clog pores. Grapeseed Oil Health Benefits of Grape Seed Oil Due to the anti-inflammatory properties of oligomeric proanthocyanidin, grape seed oil may help alleviate pain and inflammation associated with several conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. It may help speed up the wound healing process as well.
