Homemade Ayurvedic Face Masks for Every Skin Type

Looking for an easy, natural solution to your skincare woes? Ayurveda’s got your back with these DIY face masks, customized to your skin type!

• Vata Mask (for dry skin): Mix 1 tbsp chickpea flour, a pinch of turmeric, and 1/4 cup of rose water or yogurt. This combo will moisturize and brighten your skin. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and follow up with a nourishing oil like sesame.
• Pitta Mask (for oily skin): Aloe vera is your new BFF. Mix 1/4 cup aloe vera gel with a few drops of rose water for a cooling mask. Let it sit for 10 minutes and rinse off to keep your skin feeling fresh.
• Kapha Mask (for oily, acne-prone skin): Use 1 tsp of honey and a pinch of turmeric. This simple mask will clear out stubborn breakouts. Apply for 10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
• Tridoshaja Vikara Mask (for combination skin): With combination skin, balancing oily and dry areas is key. For oily zones (like the T-zone), use Multani Mitti with rose water to absorb excess oil. For drier areas, mix chickpea flour with yogurt to hydrate and soothe. Apply each mixture separately, leave for 10-15 minutes, then wash off with lukewarm water.

Don’t forget: Ayurveda reminds us that good skincare comes from within. Stay hydrated, nourish your body with wholesome foods, and find balance through lifestyle choices!
