A Gentle Daily Ayurvedic Face Care Routine in 3 Steps
Ayurveda favours simple, regular care over complicated routines. If you are new to it, start with these three steps.
Step 1: Cleanse
Begin with a gentle cleanser. Use lukewarm water, massage lightly with your fingertips, and rinse well. Cleansing morning and night is enough for most people.
Step 2: Treat
On clean skin, apply a few drops of a face serum. Press it gently into your face and neck rather than rubbing. A little goes a long way.
Step 3: Protect
Finish with a moisturiser. In the morning, add sunscreen as the last step to protect your skin through the day.
Morning and evening
- Morning: cleanse, treat, moisturise, sunscreen.
- Evening: cleanse well to remove the day, treat, moisturise.
Keep it consistent
Skin responds to steady habits. Give any new routine at least a few weeks, and change one product at a time so you can see what works for you.
