The Ayurvedic Science of Dosha-based Skincare

Discover your unique dosha and understand how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha influence your skin, health, and natural radiance.

Ayurveda believes that our body is governed by three bio-energies or doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. While CTM (cleanse–tone–moisturise) is essential for everyone, dosha-based skincare brings deeper, visible, and long-lasting results.

Take the dosha test and understand your prakriti—the unique combination of energies that determine your skin type, behavior, metabolism, and overall health. When your doshas are aligned, your skin glows effortlessly.

Dosha-based Skin Types & Their Needs

Vata Skin

Dry, thin, flaky, sensitive, and prone to early aging. Needs nourishment, deep hydration, soothing oils, and calming herbs.

Pitta Skin

Warm, red, sensitive, acne-prone, and affected by heat. Needs cooling, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and sun-protective care.

Kapha Skin

Thick, oily, congested, with large pores and blackheads. Needs sebum balance, detoxification, deep cleansing, and light hydration.

Ayurveda says—your skin is a mirror of your internal balance. Pollution, stress, and lifestyle imbalances reflect through breakouts, dullness, and pigmentation.

Vata Skin Type

Vata represents air + space. Vata skin is dry, dehydrated, and sensitive. Signs you may have Vata skin:

• Dry or flaky skin even after moisturising
• Dull or tired appearance
• Fine lines appear early
• Skin changes with stress or weather

Your skin needs deep hydration, nourishment, and gentle cleansing.
