Why a Personalized Ritual Matters
Every skin type has unique characteristics and needs. In Ayurveda, these align with the three
doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which influence your skin’s tendencies and how it responds
to different conditions. By understanding both your dosha and your skin type, you can choose
the best skincare for radiance, harmony, and long-term wellness.
