Great skin is a result of good skincare habits and a healthy lifestyle.
While it’s essential to follow a good skincare routine, it isn’t complete in itself. The 5,000 year-old-science of Ayurveda emphasizes the mantra ‘True beauty comes from within.
For this reason, the Ayurvedic skincare routine focuses on balancing the whole body and supporting the digestive system with a healthy diet while treating each individual according to her specific dosha.
Sounds difficult? It isn’t.
Once you become intuitively tuned to understand what your skin needs, you’ll be able to approach skincare and beauty in a holistic manner. Below, we’ve broken down the key elements of chalking out the perfect skincare routine for yourself.
Let’s get started.
THE BASICS OF SKINCARE
Your skincare routine essentially consists of these three basic steps.
Cleansing – Removing impurities from the skin
Toning – Balancing the skin
Moisturizing – Hydrating the skin
The main objective of following a skincare routine is simply to reveal your best natural skin and a glowing complexion.
Following this basic CTM routine helps you understand how your skin’s changing with time. Sometimes, you might need to tweak the products that you’re using based on how your skin is responding to the current weather conditions.
Think of these steps as a way to revisit your skin twice a day to establish a relationship with it.
At Ayunature Care Clinic, we believe natural and organic products are the best skincare treatments that we can give to our skin. Regular exfoliation combined with a regime of CTM (Cleansing, Toning & Moisturizing) can take you a long way in your skincare journey.
PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO A GREAT SKIN
How many times have you decided to be regular with your CTM only to give up in a week or so? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.
But remember, all good things take time. There’s no magical product that can restore your skin’s glow and health quickly.
The entire point of creating a skincare regime for yourself is to stick to it long enough to see results and changes. So, don’t forget all about taking care of your skin until you’ve got an important event to attend.
Because of so many options available in the market, it’s important to remember a few things while choosing products for your skin.
A lot of skincare brands promise instant solutions to your problems. Harsh chemicals used in these instant solutions do more harm than good in the longer run.
Organic and natural skin care products are the most gentle on the skin. Choose products with minimum possible side effects and no chemicals.
Results only come with consistent use. Use a product regularly for at least six weeks to observe changes.
As an exception, discontinue the product if you experience skin breakouts, rashes or irritation.
As a conscious customer, opt for organic and vegan products that are not tested on animals and are cruelty-free. Products that cause harm to the planet are not going to be good for your skin, either.
