A healthy skin-care routine does not need many steps. Consistency matters more than the number of products you use.
1. Cleanse gently
Use lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. Very hot water and harsh soaps can leave skin dry.
2. Moisturise
Apply body lotion after bathing and hand cream through the day. Focus on dry areas.
3. Protect
Use sun protection on exposed skin, wear gloves for chores, and cover up in harsh weather.
4. Support from within
Drink enough water, eat a balanced diet, sleep well and manage stress — habits that Ayurveda has long emphasised.
5. Add a little ritual
An Ayurveda-inspired oil massage before bathing, once or twice a week, can make your routine feel more relaxing.
When to see a professional
See a dermatologist for persistent rashes, itching, acne, patches, or any changes in moles.
