Many of Ayurvedic Cosmetic practices depende on the season (Ritus) and are subtly interwoven with daily routine (Dinacharya). Even Nutricosmetic are present in Ayurveda.

According to Ayurveda, a number of factors determine skin health and youthfulness. These include proper moisture balance (Kapha in balance), effective functioning of the metabolic mechanisms that coordinate all the various chemical and hormonal reactions of the skin (Pitta in balance) and efficient circulation of blood and nutrients to the different layers of the skin (Vata in balance). The health of the following three dhatus (types of body tissue) are especially reflected in the skin: nutritional fluid (Rasa), blood (Rakta) and muscle (Mamsa). Rasa supports all the body tissues, particularly keeping the skin healthy, Rakta, in association with liver function, helps detoxify the skin of toxins, while Mamsa provides firmness to the skin.

Ayurveda contend that clear beautiful skin on the outside happens only when your insides are clean and toxin-free.
Your constitution, digestive system, mental health every thing play important role in Skin Care Regime.

A healthy way to start the day-
🥛Usha Paana refers to the drinking of luke warm water in the early morning. Usha means rising of the sun early in the morning and paan means to drink.
▫️The amount of water varies person-to-person. It depends on how much water you can hold in 8 Anjali. 8 Anjali means the amount of water that you can measure 8 times in the concavity formed by adjoining both hands.
Water, when consumed, does not stimulate the digestive process and most of the time it is not digested, it is only detoxified. Most of the detoxification happens in the liver after water absorption.
▫️Ayurvedic classical texts it is mentioned to drink a glass or two of luke warm water preferably from a copper vessel.
▫️The logic behind taking this water (copper water) is to flush out the collected waste material in your large intestine and to cleanse your entire digestive system.This washes the GI Tract, flushes the kidneys and stimulates peristalsis.The tendency of the Tamra Jal (water kept in the copper vessel) is to kill the bacteria, virus and microorganisms of the water and to purify it. .As a result, diseases like constipation, hyperacidity and dyspepsia are treated or prevented.
▫️Ushapan helps in getting rid of disorders like
headaches,piles, blood pressure, anemia, obesity, liver problems, gastritis, etc.

It is a good idea to start the day with Usha Paana instead of tea or coffee which can be habit forming.
