Ayurveda’s Seasonal Approach to Skin Care
In Ayurveda, the skin reflects the state of internal balance. Each season influences the doshas—Vata (air/space), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water)—which in turn affect the health and appearance of the skin. Summer is the season of Pitta dosha, associated with heat, metabolism, and transformation. When Pitta is balanced, it promotes a luminous complexion and efficient digestion. But excessive exposure to sun and heat can disturb Pitta, causing inflammation, redness, sensitivity, or accelerated ageing.
The classical Ayurvedic texts, such as the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, advocate Ritucharya—adapting one’s diet, lifestyle, and skincare routines to align with seasonal energies. During summer, Ayurveda recommends cooling, hydrating, and soothing practices. Ingredients like rose, neem, sandalwood, aloe vera, and manjistha are prized for their ability to calm heat and protect the skin naturally.
At Ayurveda Pura London, our holistic skincare is grounded in this authentic wisdom. Our formulations are designed to help your skin recover from heat and UV exposure, restoring its natural radiance and vitality.
Why Your Summer Skin Needs Special Care
High temperatures, urban pollutants, and prolonged sun exposure can strip the skin of moisture and disrupt its protective barrier. Ayurveda encourages the use of gentle exfoliation, nourishing masks, and cooling botanicals to counter these effects and maintain the skin’s natural glow.
