Ayurvedic Skin Types

Normally, the skin is categorized by the western world as dry, oily or combination. Most people fall under one of these categories and have additional skin problems which are dealt with accordingly.

Ayurveda differentiates skin in a different way.

Skin types in Ayurveda are made on the basis of the doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The root of skin problems could be due to an aggravated dosha. Just as each dosha has its own characteristics, each dosha skin type has its own characteristics. Most likely, your skin will be similar to your prevalent dosha.

The doshas are a combinations of the five elements (Pancha mahabhutas).

• Vata Constitution: Akash (Ether or Space) + Vayu (Air)
• Pitta Constitution: Agni (Fire) + Jala (Water)
• Kapha Constitution: Prithvi (Earth) + Jala (Water)

A person’s Ayurvedic skin type can be Vata, Pitta or Kapha or sometimes a combination of two of these.

Over time, your skin type may become imbalanced because of external factors like climate, diet, and lifestyle habits or environmental pollution. Hormonal changes may also mask your original skin type.

1. Vata Skin: Vata skin is usually dry thin, delicate and cool to touch. Vata skin ages faster and tends to be dry, rough and flaky when Vata is imbalanced
2. Pitta Skin: When Pitta gets imbalanced, Pitta skin is prone to discoloration, pimples, freckles, and moles. This type of skin is sun-sensitive and tends to flare-ups with rashes, eruptions or sun patches on prolonged exposure to the sun.
3. Kapha Skin: Kapha skin types tend to age at a slower rate. They are prone to a dull complexion.
