Keep your skin looking like a teenager the Ayurveda way.

Pay attention to the four pillars of youthful skin: nourish, rehydrate, detoxify and de-stress. These four pillars increase prabha, the luster and glow of the skin and all four must be addressed from both the inside and the outside.

Nourish

To nourish your skin from the inside, Ayurveda recommends following guidelines for the season and your skin/body type. In addition, try adjusting your diet to become more skin-friendly. Eat plenty of sweet, juicy fruits, such as a stewed apple or pear for breakfast to enhance rasa dhatu (nutrient fluid) and increase suppleness.

Include multiple grains in your diet (quinoa, couscous, millet, barley, amaranth, rye and wheat) to provide a variety of minerals and the full range of nature’s intelligence.
