“Healthy skin does not happen out of the blue; it is a representation of overall well-being.” When you touch your skin, does it feel rough or bumpy? It might be because of your uneven skin structure. External factors such as pollution and skincare products, as well as internal factors such as your health and nutrition, impact the texture of your skin.
According to Ayurveda, your health is determined by the balance of the important energies in your body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas; whether it's your skin, hair, or any other organ. When any of these doshas become inflamed, it manifests as a range of diseases, including an uneven skin texture. Ayurveda claims that the increased Vata levels cause significant skin dryness and cell damage, resulting in rough and flaky textured blotches. Its thin outermost layer is prone to creases and ageing prematurely. Excessive exertion, inadequate rest, and exposure to harsh elements can all worsen such problems. Here are five natural remedies made from easily available ingredients to improve skin structure and make it smooth, as suggested by Shreedha Singh, Co-Founder, T.A.C. – The Ayurveda Company.
