How Knowing Your  DOSHA TYPE CAN HELP PERFECT YOUR SELF-CARE ROUTINE

If all products were created equal for everyone, there would be no need to have millions of different brands, ingredient combos, and promises out there. Our skin, bodies, and experiences are all so different, and thus, our needs and what works for us vary just as much. Our doshas can help us get closer to our truth when it comes to wellness and skincare.

ICYMI, we shared a little about the Ayurvedic dispositions, known as doshas, in this article. Deciphering which one resonates with you most is an important part of getting to know your imbalances and needs so that you can customize your self-care. We aren’t limited to one, but we do tend to lean on one the heaviest, so aim for the one you relate to most. Take a quiz to narrow it down, if one doesn’t feel obvious to you.

Our team is obsessed with products that make it easy by outlining ingredients thoughtfully put together just to serve a specific dosha, which is why we have this Surya lineup on heavy rotation:

Kapha

Because Kapha energy is earthy, grounded, sleepy, and soft, an invigorating product that helps heighten the senses and bring some fire and energy to the spirit is imperative. Mustard oil in this fully loaded herbal blend adds a little heat to stimulate the flow of energy and lymph beneath the skin when you feel a little excess Kapha pulling you down. It’s all about balance.

Pitta

While this oil is also great for Kaphas, it can help break up that heat and stagnation that accumulate in spicy Pitta types. Sweet orange and sesame oil are ideal for Pitta types, and while ginger does bring a little heat, it has a cooling effect on the skin, inviting healing blood and lymph flow to help Pittas feel their best.

Vata

Vatas tend to run on super high energy, and when out of balance, can even lean a little chaotic, neurotic, and panicky. This is the perfect time to reach for this calming body oil for a loving, intentional, and slow abhyanga Ayurvedic massage to calm the nervous system and nurture the typical dry skin Vatas tend to have. Ashwagandha, brahmi, and shatavari are all excellent ingredients to help the nervous system deregulate and relax, so that Vatas can come down off their anxious highs and sink back into their centered selves.
