Ayurvedic Skincare Practices for Radiant Skin
To enhance skin health, consider these Ayurvedic practices:

Eating Ayurvedically: Consume fresh, whole foods that are easy to digest, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and plant proteins. Avoid processed, oily, and heavy foods. Use healthy fats like ghee, olive, coconut, and sesame oils in cooking, while avoiding highly processed oils.

Regular Skincare Ritual: Follow a consistent routine that includes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing twice daily, using herbal products suitable for your skin type.

Seasonal Rhythms: Adapt your skincare routine to align with seasonal changes to maintain dosha balance.

Essential Oils: Incorporate nourishing essential oils like lavender, tea tree, chamomile, or rosemary into your skincare routine. Add a few drops to your moisturizer or body wash. Dilute essential oils in carrier oils like coconut or sesame oil for self-massage (Abhyanga).

Self-Massage (Abhyanga): Perform Ayurvedic self-massage with warm oils to nourish skin tissues and improve blood circulation. Use oils appropriate for your dosha: coconut oil for Pitta, sesame oil for Vata, and sunflower oil for Kapha
