[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Your skin is an organ that breathes and absorbs, so think of skincare products as food. As a rule, if you cannot eat it, don’t use it on your skin. Skin eats (absorbs) whatever you feed it. So, whatever you put on your skin, it is ingested by the bloodstream to become food for tissue building.

In this article, we give you some excellent Ayurveda homemade skincare recipes that can deliver healthy, flawless skin.

You will have more beautiful skin using natural products than with man-made, artificial, chemical laden products. Just make sure to use organic ingredients and food grade essential oils. Even though organic products are more expensive, you’ll get better results because they are free of toxic fertilizers and chemicals.

If you have sensitive, oily, or dry skin… You can easily make pure skincare products with ingredients you can trust.

What is your skin type?

Knowing your skin type is the key to making effective homemade skincare recipes. The first step is to find out what your type is so you can care for it properly. Your skin type is determined by your constitution or body/mind type.

The first rule of an Ayurvedic skincare routine is to cleanse, nourish and moisturize. Even if you do nothing else, this 3-step routine will give you a healthy, youthful complexion throughout your life. (Provided you have a healthy diet and lifestyle.)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
