Learn the Ayurvedic Skincare Routine

In this video, I am going to be showing you how to perform the Ayurvedic Face Care Routine. This face care routine should be done each morning and evening.

  • Step 1 in the Ayurvedic Skincare Routine is using an Herbal Face Cleanser. The skin is cleansed with grains, clays, herbs and flowers. These powders are called ubtans and they are used instead of soap on the skin. To use an Ayurvedic Herbal Face Cleanser, you will mix about a ½ tsp of the herbal powder in your hand along with a few drops of water. Add enough water to make a spreadable paste, not too thick and not too watery. You can always add more powder to thicken it up if it ends up too watery or add more water to make it more spreadable. You then apply the paste to your face. Begin at the center of the face and work outwards. Gently rub the face with the powder to create an exfoliating action. Then rinse the face until all the powder has been removed.

  • Step 2 in the Ayurvedic Face Care routine is to spray the face with a face toner. All you need to do is spritz the face a few times and allow the skin to absorb the toner.

  • Step 3 in the Ayurvedic Skincare Routine is to use a Face Oil. In Ayurvedic skincare, we apply oils to the skin in lieu of traditional lotions. Depending on your dosha skin type, you will use more or less oil. Generally speaking, Vata will use 6-8 drops of oil, Pitta will use 4-6 drops, and Kapha will use 2-4 drops of oil. In your palm you will place these drops of oil along with a few drops of water. You will then apply the watery oil to your face like you are applying a facial moisturizer. Begin at the center of the face and move outward. Allow the skin to absorb the oils.
