Here's why Ayurvedic skincare is the best
Ayurveda is a natural, and holistic system of medicine that began in ancient India. The practice is used to restore life and balance. The system is based on the idea of the five elements that make up three key doshas, or life forces of the body. Each person has a dominant dosha that shapes their physical constitution and personality.
Why shift to Ayurvedic products?
Ayurveda may prevent various ailments, inflammation, improve concentration, and can also help to de-stress the mind, in addition to nourishing your skin. "Ayurvedic skincare products are mostly sulfate, paraben, and chloride-free, and are therefore very mild and have excellent conditioning properties on skin and hair," says Harsh Jain, co-founder of a leading Ayurvedic skincare brand. So it only makes sense to make the switch.
Is shelf life a matter of concern?
Ayurvedic products also contain preservatives to increase the shelf life. However, these are mostly completely natural. But no matter what the shelf life is, once you open a jar, any product starts getting contaminated in different ways. This is why you shouldn't be using a moisturizer you opened two years back, simply because it still has a year to go as per the label.
Is all-natural good for everyone?
Ayurvedic skincare products are pure and natural and promise to deliver high-quality results. But, it is imperative that you read the label and understand what the product contains. These products have a rare chance of causing an adverse reaction. But do a patch test to know if it suits you. A pure Ayurvedic product aims to target the root of the problem.
Why are Ayurvedic products better?
Ayurvedic products are made of some kind of herb or herbal extracts. These ingredients are mostly safe for use on even the most sensitive skin types. Ayurveda sets a standard by including all-natural ingredients derived mostly from food-grade materials. While regular skincare products only aim to make your skin appear healthy on the outside, Ayurveda works its way deeper.
A way of life
Sleep and diet are major factors determining skin health. For example, "A person taking oily food all the time is more prone to acne. A normal healthy diet is always good for any skin or hair texture," says Mr. Jain. It is advisable to maintain a simple daily routine, drink sufficient water, indulge in daily exercise, and get undisturbed sleep as well.
