Naturally Radiant: Ayurvedic Skin Care Rituals for Summer

As temperatures rise, your skin faces new challenges—heat, dryness, breakouts, and sensitivity. In Ayurveda, summer is ruled by the Pitta dosha, known for its fiery qualities. While Pitta supports clarity and transformation, excess heat can disturb the skin's balance, leading to inflammation, blemishes, and premature ageing.

By embracing Ayurvedic skincare rituals that cool, hydrate, and protect, you can maintain a healthy, radiant glow throughout the season.

1. Begin with Udvartana: Herbal Exfoliation

Udvartana is a time-honoured Ayurvedic therapy using herbal powders to exfoliate the skin, stimulate circulation, and encourage detoxification. It’s particularly beneficial in summer for keeping pores clear and complexion even.

How to use:
Apply to damp skin in circular motions, focusing on areas prone to congestion. Rinse thoroughly. Use 2–3 times weekly.

2. Follow with Exfoliating Body Polish

Our Ayurvedic Exfoliating Body Polish is enriched with botanical extracts to smooth rough skin, refresh tired limbs, and restore vitality—ideal after a day in the sun or as part of your weekly self-care ritual.

How to use:
Apply as needed before bathing, especially when skin feels dull or overexposed.

3. Cleanse with Revitalising Hand & Body Wash

Harsh cleansers can upset the skin’s natural barrier—especially in summer. Our Revitalising Hand & Body Wash is formulated with Ayurvedic herbs to gently cleanse and protect, supporting healthy skin with every use.

How to use:
Use daily in your shower or bath routine.

4. Hydrate with Revitalising Hand & Body Lotion

Lightweight yet deeply moisturising, our Ayurvedic lotion replenishes hydration lost to sun and heat. It absorbs quickly without residue and soothes even sensitive skin.

How to use:
Apply after bathing or exposure to sun and dry air.

5. Nourish with Ayurvedic Oils

Our Massage Oils are prepared with cold-pressed sesame oil, long valued in Ayurveda for its mild SPF properties and ability to deeply nourish skin exposed to the elements.

How to use:
Massage into skin before going outside for a layer of light, natural protection.
