Your skin is a mirror into your inner health. Everyone of us wants to have a healthy and beautiful looking skin and some of us are ready to spend a fortune on commercial beauty products. Some of these beauty products do give us instant results for our skin problems, but it never lasts long and they often have some sort of side effects. Ayurveda has a very different approach to skin care than modern cosmetics. Ayurvedic skin care treatments start from the inside out. Ayurveda recommends a healthy and sattvic diet for an individual to keep all the three doshas(Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in balance. When these three doshas are in balance you won’t have any skin or other health issues. When it comes to skin health, we like some extra glow too! For this added glow Ayurveda advises us to turn to the things which are naturally available to us. There are numerous valuable herbs and plants available to us that have endless therapeutic and rejuvenating properties that could be a boon to our skin. Here I will talk about my favorite Ayurvedic Herbal Face Packs To Get Beautiful and Glowing Skin. These home remedies are easy to make and are also pocket-friendly!
Just give them a try, I bet your skin will thank you later ?
