Why Pitta Skin Ages Faster — And How to Support It
Ayurveda teaches that Pitta—the energy of heat, transformation, and intensity—has five subtypes, and each one shows up differently on your skin. Research confirms that Pitta’s natural qualities (heat, sharpness, acidity, mobility) can accelerate visible aging by increasing inflammation, pigmentation, and collagen breakdown.
But the good news?
When Pitta is balanced, it creates radiance, clarity, and luminosity like no other dosha.
Here’s how each Pitta subtype speaks through your skin—and the best Surrasa ritual to support it:
Pachaka Pitta (Digestive Fire)
Redness, flushing, heat-triggered breakouts
Try: Virya Awakening Gel, Virya Toner, Virya Serum, Amrta GotuKola Oil
Ranjaka Pitta (Blood/Liver Heat)
Pigmentation, melasma, uneven tone
Try: Amrta Saffron Serum, Amrta Moisturizer, Amrta Bakuchi Oil
Sadhaka Pitta (Emotional Heat)
Stress acne, sudden sensitivity, emotional redness
Try: Santi Moisturizer, Virya Nasya Oil, Virya Toning Spray
Alochaka Pitta (Eye/Screen Heat)
Dark circles, eye fatigue, puffiness
Try: Virya Awakening Serum, Virya Gel
Bhrajaka Pitta (Skin’s Own Fire)
Rosacea tendencies, irritation, barrier weakness
Try: Virya Awakening Serum, Virya Lotion, Virya Toning Spray, Bakuchi Oil
The Bottom Line
Your skin isn’t “acting up”—it’s expressing a Pitta imbalance.
When you choose the right cooling, nourishing, Ayurvedic ritual, the same fire that once caused irritation transforms into radiance and resilience.
