ELEMENTS: Fire and Water Your skin type is Pitta. Your inner fire rules your outer world.
The Pitta dosha is ruled by the element of fire. Those with a primarily Pitta constitution are passionate, motivated, and make great leaders. You’re the warrior of the doshas and your ambition will take you places. You’re also a creature of habit and routine, and when your routine gets interrupted, it’s as if one of your inner flames gets burnt out. You get things done. Burning through your to-do lists is normal for you and you’re great at motivating others to take action. Your intelligence and perceptive nature serve you well in life. The key to embodying the positive elements of Pitta is to maintain balance and harmony within yourself and in your relations. When Pitta overpowers the mind it can manifest as aggression, recklessness, and pride. Physically, Pitta imbalance can show up as skin eruptions, inflammation, and excess stress that can lead to burnout if you’re not careful.

How to care for Pitta skin

Pitta skin requires cooling nourishment that hydrates and soothes the skin. When balanced it’s quite normal, but when out of balance you may tend toward dryness and sensitivity.
Avoid artificial fragrances and colors as these only create imbalance. Look for hydrating, balancing skincare products that help strengthen, nourish and rejuvenate your skin deeply.
Look for these ingredients Lavender, Licorice, Aloe Vera, Cucumber, Rosewater, Chamomile, Rosehip seed oil, and Shatavari. SHOP NOW

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

It is best to store in a dark, dry, and cool location.

Everybody’s skin will get a little dryer, thinner and loose some elasticity with age but the fundamental Ayurvedic skin type will not change. Pitta skin for example will still run warm and have a tendency towards sensitivity needing products with cooling and soothing properties to maintain balance. Both vata and kapha skin will still run cool and need ingredients with warming properties. Where vata skin needs products with some slight invigorating properties kapha skin demands stronger balancing and stimulating properties to combat it’s tendency towards congestion etc. As your skin is aging, thinning, becoming a little dryer and losing elasticity the Anti-Age Serum and the Daily Repair Serum will play a more important role and needs to be added to your skin care regime to boost hydration and rejuvenation

Your Ayurvedic Treatment Oil / Moisturizer is designed to bring balance to your skin on a deep level and maintain that balance long term. When you use a different moisturizer than the one designed for your Ayurvedic skin type, the many specific balancing qualities present in the product may cause an imbalance in the long run. For example a pitta skin may get aggravated over time by the warming and stimulating qualities of a kapha product and a vata skin may get aggravated by the cooling property or the slightly sebum-balancing qualities of a pitta product. A wiser course would be to adjust your cleanser or your Daily Repair Serum or perhaps add the Anti-Age Serum to your skin care regime. You could also try applying a thin layer of moisturizing cream on top of your facial oil or start using a facial mask to address temporary skin imbalances.

All of our products are non-comedogenic. Our oils are designed to absorb quickly and deeply without clogging pores. The herbal oil blends we use are carefully selected for the needs of each Ayurvedic skin type. Each skin type has a different requirement for attaining balance and maintaining balance . Each formulation has its own therapeutic essential oil blend that serve as a carrier for all the other nutrients and actives to get absorbed into the skin. We also use olive-derived squalane which resembles the chemical composition of human sebum. It is a very beneficial and hydrating substance that contributes to the moisturizing factor in the skin. The skin recognizes it and welcomes it in quickly which also means that it is not going to clog pores.

To keep it simple, VATA is DRY (everywhere equally / no sensitivity); PITTA is either NORMAL, SENSITIVE or what we call COMBINATION skin (your skin would feel normal with an oily T-Zone or dry with a normal T-Zone); and KAPHA is OILY (everywhere equally / no sensitivity).
