Welcome, sun-kissed souls! Pitta season has been upon us, and it's time to shine with radiant skin that mirrors the endless summer days. Let's dive into a list of rejuvenating tips that will nourish your skin and protect it from the fiery and drying summer elements. 🌞 Bonus: Complimentary Ayurveda recipe eBooks.
First on our list is the golden rule of skincare—hydration. Make water your best friend this summer. Ayurveda suggests sipping on water infused with hint of mint or a splash of lime to keep your skin hydrated from within. If your skin is dry on the outside, just imagine how dry things look on the inside. Hydration is key to maintaining skin elasticity and combatting the summer heat.
Aloe vera, the plant of miracles, is a summer skincare essential. Its soothing properties calm sun-exposed skin and promote healing. Apply fresh aloe vera gel generously to cool and moisturize your skin after a day under the sun.
Shield your skin from harmful UV rays with using hats, umbrellas, and Ayurvedic-inspired natural sunscreens. Opt for moisturizers like coconut oil and almond oil. These oils nourish skin deeply.
Sandalwood, the gem of Ayurvedic skincare, comes to the rescue during summers. Its cooling properties help soothe sunburns and reduce skin inflammation. Create a paste using sandalwood powder and rose water for a calming face mask to rejuvenate your skin.
Indulge in the refreshing benefits of Ayurvedic face mists. Mix rose water, cucumber juice, and a hint of mint to create a cooling face mist that revitalizes tired skin instantly, or try Saumya Ayurveda's rosewater hydrosol mister. Keep it in the fridge for an extra burst of freshness. Feel a hot flash coming on, dash to the fridge and spritz away!
Ayurvedic wisdom emphasizes the importance of a mindful skincare routine aligned with your body type (dosha). Determine your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) and tailor your skincare products accordingly for dosha balance. Took a quiz and poked around on the internet and found it more confusing? It's understandable.
Nourish your skin from within by incorporating skin-loving foods in your diet. Ayurveda recommends consuming cooling foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and coconut water to maintain skin hydration and keep it glowing.
Swap harsh cleansers for gentle herbal concoctions this summer. Prepare a homemade cleanser using neem powder, turmeric, and honey to cleanse your skin effectively while keeping it free from summer-induced breakouts.

Allow your skin to breathe and repair during the night. Apply Ayurvedic oils like coconut oil or almond oil as part of your Ayurvedic evening routine to nourish your skin deeply and wake up with a revitalized glow.
For a radiant complexion, consider using our kukumadi oil. This oil is derived from the primary ingredient, red-gold saffron, which has historically been the most expensive spice worldwide. According to tradition, applying Kukumadi oil to your face before bed will result in a luminous complexion. Based on an ancient Ayurvedic formula for healthy skin, our kukumadi oil promotes skin evenness, enhances texture, combats early signs of aging, reduces dark circles, and addresses blemishes and scars.
