🌿 Ayurvedic Skincare Routine Using Kitchen Ingredients (For Glowing Indian Skin)
India’s beauty legacy isn’t built in labs - it’s been passed down in kitchens and courtyards for centuries. Turmeric masks, rosewater spritzes, sandalwood pastes - our Ayurvedic roots are powerful, natural, and timeless.
If you’re looking for affordable, glow-giving skincare using things you already have at home, this Ayurvedic routine is your perfect start.
🧖♀️ What Makes Ayurveda So Effective for Skincare?
Ayurveda believes in dosha balance - your skin is a reflection of your internal health. When your Vata (dry), Pitta (sensitive), or Kapha (oily) energies are imbalanced, skin issues show up.
Unlike chemical-heavy routines, Ayurvedic skincare is:
- Non-toxic ✅
- Holistic ✅
- Customizable ✅
- Based on season, skin type & dosha ✅
