FOR KAPHA DOMINANT PEOPLE

Those with combination skin generally have a kapha skin type. Kaphas are mainly composed of earth and water, making it the ideal skin type. Those with kapha skin types should opt for lighter foods to keep the insides light and clean. Your diet can include foods like lemons, apples, lentils and plenty of organic vegetables. Steer clear of dense foods, like wheat, avocados and pastas.

HERBAL TEAS

Herbal teas can work wonders for your overall well-being, and especially for your skin. No matter what your skin type is, a concoction made from tulsi leaves is an excellent choice to lend a glow to your skin. It can also be used to treat scars and acne, skin infections, lighten skin tone. You are what you eat. This adage holds true, especially when talking about glowing skin. An improper diet, stressful lifestyle and environmental pollution take a toll on your skin. Seeking help from Ayurveda can help in purifying the blood, detoxifying the body and improving circulation, all of which are extremely necessary to lend an inner glow to your skin. Also, eating according to your skin type will further help the cause. Read on to know more about your skin type according to your doshas and what you should eat accordingly.

FOR VATA DOMINANT PEOPLE

If you have excessively dry skin, early signs of ageing but not many blemishes, then there are chances that you are vata skin type. As vata is composed of air, vata skin is generally dry. So you should opt for healthy fats like avocados, ghee, almonds and sesame seeds. It is best to avoid coffee and caffeinated drinks, as they make the problem worse.

FOR PITTA DOMINANT PEOPLE

If you feel like your skin is oily, and you can’t ever seem to get rid of the stray pimples and freckles, then you have pitta skin. Pitta is made of fire and water, where fire is the predominant element. This makes it more prone to acne, sensitivity to sun and inflammation. The best route to take when you are pitta dominant is to consume cooling and sweet foods like apricots, bananas, barley and oats. Also, since pitta is mainly fire, it is best to avoid spicy, sour and pungent foods.

WARM WATER

To keep your skin healthy you need to ensure that the Agni, or digestive fire, is kindled. You need to keep the colon free from toxins, which generally build up when agni is disturbed. To steer clear from indigestion, you should make it a habit to consume warm water. This not only cleanses your body, but also increases the digestive fire. When your body tissues are healthy, glowing skin is sure to follow.
