Ayurveda Skincare in Summer

 

Summer is a season filled with warmth and sunshine, and spending time outdoors can be rejuvenating for the soul. However, prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful rays can cause damage to our skin, resulting in sunburns and tanning. According to Ayurveda, the body’s senses of humor, Pitta and Vata, are high during the summer months, which can lead to excessive body heat and severe dryness in the skin. To keep your skin fresh and glowing during the summer, it is important to follow a proper skincare routine that includes natural and herbal treatments.

Here are a few tips to help you protect your skin from the harmful effects of the summer heat.

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day, not only to replenish moisture lost to the heat and sweat but also to help flush toxins out of the body and keep skin looking clear and lustrous.

• Eat Pitta-balancing fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Sweet juicy fruits such as pears, grapes, watermelon, and mangoes both nourish and cleanse the body. Fresh ginger, cilantro, mint, and basil add flavor and aromas to dishes without aggravating Pitta dosha. Go easy on spicy or sour foods, especially if you plan to go out and enjoy the sun for the day, to keep your skin from breaking out or getting inflamed.

• Get plenty of quality rest each night. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and comfortable, and sleep on cotton or linen sheets. Get to bed early and awaken early for clear healthy skin and sparkling eyes.

• Make sure your skin is clean and oil-free. Exfoliate with natural scrubs. Stop the use of harsh soaps and instead go for herbal soaps or mild cleansers which make the skin healthy.

• Keep your skin nourished with an herbal moisturizer. Look for ayurvedic formulations that contain skin-friendly herbs such as sandalwood, turmeric, brahmi, amla, aloe vera, etc. At least once a week, treat yourself with a fruit or vegetable mask appropriate for your skin type.
