Skin care is very important in Ayurveda because it can show if you are getting proper nutrients and can be a beautiful way to start a self-care regimen. We suggest taking care of your skin with natural products and oils. Each skin type is different and prevention of acne or rashes is easier to handle. When you start to get a glow to your skin you will feel healthy, vivacious, and confident. Be attuned to how much sun exposure you get. The sun can be great for your skin. However, too much unprotected exposure can lead to serious health issues. Lie in the sun before noon or late afternoon making sure to not in the heat of the day. Lie out for 10-15 minutes or at the most 30 minutes. This will improve the circulation in the skin and strengthen the skin tone. However, if you are prone to sunburn or are at a high altitude, limit your sun exposure . There is a misconception that oil is bad for your skin and gives you acne.

Ayurveda is based on the natural elements found on Earth, the elements we see, feel, and hear around us: fire, water, earth, air, and ether (space). We have all experienced each of these elements.
These elements exist not only in the planet, but also in your body, where they represent different components of your physical and mental characteristics.
Fire is hot and powerful,
while water is fluid and cool. Earth is dense and grounding, while air is light and moving.
Ether is the one you
can’t see but can feel. It’s the vastness of looking up at the stars on a clear day. It’s your intuition. Ayurveda uses these elements as
references to explain all aspects of your physical and mental well-being.
Each
of us is born with a certain amount of these elements—some people are more
fiery while others are more watery.
If you’ve ever read your horoscope, they, too, relate to various
elements, such as fire signs and earth signs.
However, Ayurveda takes a more scientific approach
to the elements. It sees air as the movement of gas in your colon. It sees earth as your body compositing fat. It sees fire as your metabolism breaking down your food. It sees water as the hydration
running through your cells.
It sees ether as the space in your gastrointestinal tract.
By
understanding these elements, you can
unlock hidden dimensions of your physical and emotional well-being.These five elements make
up the three Doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These Doshas
are energies used to describe
your food, body, mind, environment,
and everything else.
