When it is about your facial skin, you have to be very specific about what you are putting on your face. Try to keep it simple and natural as much as you can with your skin. Using a natural homemade face pack is always better than using chemical-based face packs available in the market.
Each one of us has different skin types based on our body types. One has to take care of their skin depending upon their body type or skin problems. A Vata person has dry and rough skin, a Pitta person has sensitive skin, and Kapha person has oily skin. Ayurveda describes various herbs, spices, and food substances that are favorable according to body type. Know your body type and take care of your skin accordingly.
