A long time ago in India, kings and queens didn’t rush to shops for beauty creams. They had their own secret. Their skin glowed even without makeup. It wasn’t magic. It was something called Ayurveda, a way of life and healing that was written down over 5,000 years ago.

In those times, beauty was not about mirrors or selfies. It was about energy. Harmony. You could say a queen’s glow came from something deeper, not just what she wore, but how she lived.

Inside huge palaces with carved pillars and golden lamps, the air smelled of rose water and vetiver. Gardens overflowed with jasmine, marigold, and tulsi. Every morning, as the sun rose, queens would sit in cool courtyards, surrounded by their helpers. These helpers weren’t ordinary attendants. They were skilled in the art of mixing, crushing neem leaves, warming sesame oil, blending saffron into sandalwood paste.

No one used machines. No shortcuts. Everything was done by hand. The queens applied these blends like a sacred act. Not hurried. Not careless. Each stroke on the skin was filled with presence, like painting a temple wall.

Even the kings followed their own rituals. They faced desert winds, battlefields, and hours in the sun. But their skin didn’t suffer. They had their own routines, daily oil massages, herbal baths, and bitter tonics to keep the body cool from inside.

But here’s the part most people don’t know.

This wasn’t just skincare. It was balance.

Because in those days, people believed that if your body was disturbed, your face would speak it first. Dry cheeks, sudden pimples, dullness, these were not random. They were warnings. The skin told the truth. And Ayurveda taught how to listen.

This is the part we have forgotten.

Today, we scrub harder. Add more layers. Cover and hide. But the glow never stays. Because something inside is off.

And that brings us to something important. The idea of Doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and how they quietly shape the story your skin is trying to tell.

What Are Doshas?

Ayurveda says that five elements, space, air, fire, water, and earth, come together to make three Doshas in every person:

• Vata (air + space)
• Pitta (fire + water)
• Kapha (earth + water)

Each person has all three. But one or two may be stronger. That’s called your body type or prakriti. These Doshas decide how you feel, how you think, and yes, how your skin looks.

Let’s understand what each one does to your skin.

Vata Skin

Vata is light, dry, and full of motion. People with more Vata energy often have skin that is:

• Thin
• Cool to touch
• Dry or flaky
• Quick to show lines or cracks

When Vata is out of balance, skin feels rough, tight, or even itchy. In winter, it gets worse. The skin may peel or feel like paper.

Pitta Skin

Pitta is warm, sharp, and active. People with more Pitta energy often have skin that is:

• Soft and pinkish
• Warm to touch
• Prone to redness or rashes
• Sensitive to sun and heat

When Pitta is too high, the skin may break out. You may get burning pimples, red patches, or feel like your face is on fire after applying certain products.

Kapha Skin

Kapha is cool, heavy, and stable. People with more Kapha energy often have skin that is:

• Thick
• Oily
• Smooth and soft
• Less likely to wrinkle early

But too much Kapha can make the skin greasy or dull. Pores may clog. Blackheads and puffiness are common.

When Balance Breaks

Now imagine this.

A queen stops her daily rituals. She no longer does her herbal massages. She eats carelessly, skips sleep, and forgets to rest.

Her face begins to change. Her cheeks dry out. Red spots appear. Her glow dims.

She tries adding more makeup, more perfume. But nothing lasts. Because the problem is not on the skin. It’s under it.

That’s what happens when Doshas are not cared for. The balance breaks. And no amount of product can fix that from outside.

This is not just a story. Even today, doctors and studies show that our gut, sleep, and stress all affect the skin.

How to Bring Back Balance

Here is the good news.

Ayurveda gives simple ways to bring balance back. It doesn’t start with shopping. It starts with understanding.

Let’s see what helps each skin type:

For Vata Skin

• Use warm water, not cold.
• Apply oil before bathing.
• Choose rich, soft creams.

🌿 Try this: Kumkumadi Gold Face Serum
It has saffron, gold dust, and lotus, perfect for Vata skin. Use it at night after washing your face. Just two drops. Let it sink in while you sleep.

For Pitta Skin

• Avoid spicy, oily food.
• Don’t scrub too hard.
• Choose cooling herbs like rose or sandalwood.

🌿 Try this: Divine Orchard Soap
It smells like a flower garden and feels calming on warm, red skin.

For Kapha Skin

• Wash with warm water.
• Stay active, avoid heavy meals.
• Use herbs like turmeric and neem.

🌿 Try this: Celestial Soap
It helps clear extra oil and leaves skin feeling clean and light.

Don’t Forget These

No matter your Dosha, some steps help everyone:

• Drink warm water in the morning. It wakes up digestion.
• Massage your face with oil once a week. This improves blood flow.
• Sleep before 10 PM. Your skin repairs while you sleep.
• Say a kind word to yourself. Ancient texts believed that mantras can change the body’s energy. Your skin listens too.

A Pratice, Not a Product

In old times, no one called it skincare. It was a ritual. A moment to pause. A way to return to yourself.

That is what Param Amrit brings back.

Not fast fixes. But slow, sacred care.

One example is the Ghritamrit Face Cream. It’s made by washing ghee 100 times by hand. This method is over 2,000 years old. It takes time. It takes patience. But it works deeply.

It is made only during the full moon, a time when nature is calm and full. Because what goes into a product is as important as what it does on the skin.

In Closing

Your skin is wise. It speaks. It remembers. It reflects.

It doesn’t need more layers. It needs more care.

When you understand your Dosha, you stop fighting your skin. You begin to listen. And slowly, gently, your skin listens back.

So ask yourself:

What does my skin need today?

Then start there.

Not with a cream. But with care.
