26 June, 2009 No Comment

It has been said that your face reflects your soul. Well, this statement seems to be valid to quite an extent. Your face shows, when you are happy and when you are not. It is shown on your face when you are not in a good health or in a good mood.

So, how to take care of this mirror of your personality and well being? With chemical-based make up kits? Or natural herb based Ayurvedic ways. No doubt, you will go for the latter one.

Ayurveda for your face care
The ancient medical science of Ayurveda classifies face care into three parts: Doshaghana, Vishaghana, and Varnya. Once you understand these concepts, you will appreciate that how systematic and comprehensive Ayurveda is.

Doshaghana: Doshaghana is focused towards alleviating the inherent shortcomings or doshas. In today’s age where everyone demands for immediate results, no one thinks about this. In fact, instead of thinking on how to remove the shortcomings of the skin, people tend to apply more and more layers of chemicals on it.

The result is not surprising. After a certain point of time, the natural health of skin goes down terribly and a person can’t do without make-up at all. Is that we call care? Certainly, not! Identifying the drawbacks in the skin is first step towards its betterment.

Vishaghana: This is meant by detoxifying your skin. Once you know what are the shortcomings of your skin, you can go about a suitable cleansing process. This way, you are not applying any so-called branded skin care products on your skin recklessly but finding natural ways of doing it with things such as natural face-packs and liquids, including fruit and vegetable juices.

Varnya: Now, this is the third and last step towards achieving a nice gentle looking face, you had always craved for. This process focuses on enhancing your skin complexion. Believe it that it is not just about making your skin white but healthy and well nourished. It aims at bringing out the best in you.

Now that you are well aware of the fundamentals, you can look for ayurvedic herbal products that are available in the market. Also, you can try for some home made face packs and scrubbers made out of fruits and vegetables.
