The Skin Types of Ayurveda

Understanding your skin type is the first step to making right decisions for both you and your skin.

Skin types is a very interesting topic for me as a professional. I also understand that there is a lot of confusion related to it. Many clients come to me and share during their first visit, that their skin was analyzed by various individuals and each gave them different feedback. This is obviously confusing and frustrating for them!

Here is the link to the SKIN TYPES OF AYURVEDA , an article which I have written for my very favourite school of aromatherapy The School for Aromatic Studies

My intention behind this article is to share my outlook and understanding of skin and skin type classifications. I hope that it will add more clarity and lift some of your confusion.

I hope that you’ll enjoy reading it. Let us know if you have any questions in the comments or by contacting us at hello@womandivine.ca

Your emotional skin.

Our emotions and our skin are closely related. Our skin is actually a highly sensitive responder to emotions and it often reminds us that mind and body are one😀

Think no further then the last time you felt very embarrassed and your face turned red, or when you felt fear and your skin become pale. And how about that happiness and internal bliss glow?

Clients often share that stress in their life causes flare ups of eczema, rosacea or acne... As much as skin disease can mean viruses, inflammation, bacteria, when we are experiencing a persistent skin condition, emotional component is usually part of the experience. Given close bond between our skin and the nervous system this should be of no surprise.

In short you can say that your skin ‘feels’ for you the very emotions which you choose not to express. It cries, it gets inflamed with anger and it remembers traumatic experiences which took place years back but were never addressed. In a long run, sweeping under the rug never really works ...not even in skincare.

So if you feel that your skin is giving you a hard time and you know that you have done everything you can to help it heal, including proper diet, exercise, good skin care regimen, then it maybe time to examine, how your emotions are contributing to the problem. ...
