Beauty trends come and go, so when an ancient beauty principle has stood the test of time for over 6,000<\/em> years and promises to transform your skin, hair and overall well-being, it’s safe to say it sparks our attention. Say hello to Ayurveda – the ancient Indian science of life and longevity that’s been the secret to radiant beauty for centuries. In a world obsessed with quick fixes and overnight miracles, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach that’s as luxurious as it is effective.<\/p>\n

“In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, individuals are increasingly seeking more holistic approaches to their well-being. Ayurveda, with its comprehensive outlook on health, encompasses not only physical well-being but also mental, emotional and spiritual aspects,” explains Dr. Shweta Netke, Senior Ayurveda Doctor at Forest Essentials<\/a>. “This holistic perspective is now resonating with people who are realising the importance of a balanced and integrated approach to their overall health. Ayurveda is not merely a passing trend but a timeless philosophy that continues to benefit people across cultures and generations.”<\/p>\n

Sitting down with GRAZIA, Dr. Netke reveals everything you need to know about Ayurvedic beauty, from what the philosophy is all about to the key Ayurveda beauty rituals and ingredients we should all be using to look and feel better. Listen in.<\/p>\n

What exactly is Ayurveda?
\n<\/strong>The term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit word \u0101yurvedah. \u2018Ayuh\u2019 means life and \u2018veda\u2019 means knowledge. The secret to flawless skin and ageless beauty has been known to Indian physicians for over 6,000 years, preserved in one of the world\u2019s oldest systems of health care and healing. The history of Ayurveda states that all areas in one\u2019s life impacts health and holistic well-being, and the Vedas cover a wide variety of topics, including health, astrology, spirituality, art and human behaviour.<\/p>\n

In India, Ayurveda has always been a way of life. In ancient Ayurvedic Indian scriptures, skincare formulations, ingredients, food habits and lifestyle were subtly interwoven with seasons, which were practiced in every Indian household, and this knowledge was passed over generations. From the food we eat and seasonal changes to what we use for health and beauty, it was all based on the foundation of the ancient science of Ayurveda.<\/p>\n

How is Ayurveda beneficial for beauty?
\n<\/strong>Ayurveda advocates a holistic, balanced approach to life in regard to body, mind and spirit. The skin is a direct reflection of what goes on internally – the ultimate indicator of whether or not the three are in balance. It’s only when all three are in perfect harmony that you radiate not only outer, but also inner beauty.<\/p>\n

The four guiding principles of Ayurveda are ‘Pure’, ‘Fresh’, ‘Seasonal’ and ‘Sensorial’. Ayurveda advocates the most ideal and effective way to nurture your skin, body and hair by preparing fresh concoctions using ancient recipes and the purest ingredients of the season. It also\u00a0presents a collaborative approach to organic beauty that works on three levels \u2013 outer perfection, inner beauty and \u2018Ojas\u2019 – or the charisma of absolute beauty – reflected in inner vitality, lustrous hair, glowing skin, clear shining eyes and an \u2018inner fire\u2019. When outer perfection is balanced with inner contentment and vitality it cannot be diminished by age or time. This is known \u2018Ojas\u2019 or Eternal Beauty. When the skin acquires \u201cthe touch and feel of silk with a dazzling glow\u201d, it is known as \u201cTejas\u201d or the outer reflection of Beauty.<\/p>\n

What are Doshas and how do they determine our beauty products?
\n<\/strong>When it comes to skincare, the resilience and glow of a person\u2019s skin are considered a reflection of their health. Additionally, the quality of skin is determined by a person\u2019s Dosha, or each of the three energies believed to circulate in the body and govern physiological activity. The three Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Simply put, Vata is dry, Pitta is generally a combination and Kapha is oily. Skincare regimes, diet and lifestyle changes, according to your active \u2018Dosha\u2019 when in balance, bring out that desirable glow or – as Ayurveda describes – flawless skin. Lustrous, smooth, evenly coloured, firm, elastic and with a golden sheen. Hence, in Ayurveda, it is key to choose a skincare regime that matches your Dosha.<\/p>\n

Understanding your Dosha can help you select the most suitable products tailored to your unique needs and preferences. At Forest Essentials, we offer authentic Ayurvedic products and a complete holistic experience, which harmonises the mind, body and soul. Our Ayurvedic consultations are based on a simple questionnaire, which grades skin according to Ayurvedic guidelines.<\/p>\n
